(4) YA In Ockler's "The Little Mermaid"–inspired tale set in seaside Oregon, Elyse, who lost her voice in a devastating boating accident, agrees to act as first-mate for handsome Christian in a high-stakes regatta; Elyse must face her watery demons and find the power in her true voice. Mermaid lore deepens this beach read, though the conclusion is fairly unsatisfying.
