Jane has recently lost her parents, and since she is a woman and cannot inherit her home, she comes up with a plan to propose marriage to a boy in town who could use an escape of his own. And when that boy is dragged into the ocean by a mermaid, Jane has no other option but to go in after him. Over the course of three days, Jane has the adventure of a lifetime.
I adored this graphic novel. I was constantly being surprised by new bits of information. No matter what happened I was always rooting for Jane on her adventure; Jane has quite the journey literally as well as figuratively. Jane goes into the ocean with a lack of confidence and no options, but while she's underwater she learns quite a bit about herself and becomes an inspiration for any reader. With themes of family and self, this beautifully designed graphic novel can be enjoyed by anyone.
