Review: Furmaid

by | Mar 13, 2013 | 2013, Ages 4-8, ARC, eBook, Nada

Hott Synopsis

A very different kind of mermaid story for a very different child.

Finnoor is a bit different. Instead of the lovely and shiny scales all of the other mermaids have, Finnoor has fur. Not just any fur – but frizzy fur.

Maybe, just maybe, Finnoor will earn that being different is a wonderful thing.

Hott Review

What I liked: We all really enjoyed reading Finnoor’s tail tale and the pictures were absolutely gorgeous.
What I didn’t like: It didn’t rhyme! I adore Ms. Dweck’s lyrical poetry!

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
