When Lyric Walker was 14-years-old her life was turned upside down when she witnessed a world-changing event— the arrival of the Triton, a five-nation race of warrior merpeople who walked out of the sea and camped on the beaches of modern-day Coney Island. Suddenly, her neighborhood was home to a new minority group numbering in the tens of thousands. But the Triton' s arrival also revealed a shocking family secret: Her own mother was a mermaid.

      Gr 8 Up-When thousands of ocean dwellers (the Alpha) come ashore at Coney Island, 16-year-old Lyric Walker becomes involved when her high school is chosen for assimilation of the teenage Alpha. Lyric is assigned to assist Fathom, the Alpha crown prince; first a friendship and then a romance develops between the two. The story has strong characters and world-building; incorporates elements of diversity, prejudice, domestic abuse, and intolerance; and also has parallels with the civil rights movement. Jennifer Grace provides a smooth and practiced narration, adding to the action, emotion, and suspense of this well-written combination dystopian thriller and coming-of-age story. VERDICT Of interest to young adults and fans of dystopian fantasy.-Denise A. Garofalo, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY
