Today, we’re featuring another great YA author coming to Wordstock Festival in Portland, Oregon October 9-10th. Check out The Mermaid’s Mirror by L.K. Madigan:
Lena has lived her whole life near the beach—walking for miles up and down the shore and breathing the salty air, swimming in the cold water, and watching the surfers rule the waves—the problem is, she’s spent her whole life just watching.
As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Lena vows she will no longer watch from the sand: she will learn to surf.
But her father – a former surfer himself – refuses to allow her to take lessons. After a near drowning in his past, he can’t bear to let Lena take up the risky sport.
Yet something lures Lena to the water … an ancient, powerful magic. One morning Lena catches sight of this magic: a beautiful woman—with a silvery tail.
Nothing will keep Lena from seeking the mermaid, not even the dangerous waves at Magic Crescent Cove.
And soon … what she sees in the mermaid’s mirror will change her life …
Learn more at the official Wordstock Festival website. And be sure to check back here in October, when we feature The Mermaid’s Mirror and Flash Burnout as our Book of the Month!
Novel Novice 
Excited about this one! It’s like realistic, contemporary fiction … with mermaids. If that makes ANY sense?
That’s actually a REALLY good way to describe it!!
Perhaps I should add that line to my review …
DO IT!
Er, I mean, yes, that sounds like a lovely idea …
