Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly

In a world of fantasy books about vampires, werewolves and demons, I have to say it is more than nice to see some mermaids. And not just any mermaid, but strong lead young women. What a beautiful world that was created, I loved the fact that not all mermaids were the same and derivatives or various fish or other sea creatures (orcas, lantern fish, lion fish, etc). I would love to see this illustrated!!
Oh and the idea of the songspell, because it travels better underwater, was a nice touch.
Serefina starts out as a typical YA heroine as she tries to figure out her place at court, but the assignation of her parents at the coming of age ceremony changes everything and she sets off on a dangerous journey with her best friend. The prophecy of the 6 means I know we will be meeting others, what fun!
