Daughter of the Sea by Kathryn Lasky


Daughter of the Sea-Hannah by Kathryn Lasky is a good fiction book for teenagers, from 12 years old to above. This book is about a girl named Hannah who gets land sick instead of seasick and become physically ill when she is far away from sea. She leaves a ring of salt in the tub when she bathes. Hannah. Hannah works for a wealthy family in Boston at the end of 19th century: the Hawley family. One day a famous painter came to paint portraits for the whole family, he spotted Hannah's secret but don't want to tell Hannah the answer. Hannah had to find out her true identity through adventures and hide the secret of her identity from her master. At last, she had to make a choice of being a land creature or a sea one- a mermaid!

This book will be good for people who loves fantasy or adventures and maybe historical fiction. It clearly shows the emotion of a 15 year old girl who want to discover the true identity of herself, but also trying to keep it away from her master and colleagues and how she has done it step by step but need to face a harsh choice to herself of whether be staying with who she loved or with her family who she haven't met at all.
