elizabethlk 's review for:
Kiviuq and the Mermaids
by Noel McDermott, Toma Feizo Gas
I have been reading through as many Inhabit Media books as I can manage to grab from the local library, as I have enjoyed the ones I initially read so much, and this is yet another. I have read other stories of Kiviuq, one of the most significant figures in traditional Inuit stories, so I had an idea of what to expect here, and I was definitely not let down.
Noel McDermott's telling of this story is lively and entertaining, as he delves into one of Kiviuq's adventures. I have read very little of mermaids in Inuit stories, other than enough to know that they exist, their tales are like seals, and they can sometimes be helpful and sometimes deadly. In this story, the mermaids chase after Kiviuq with deadly intent, with the writing accompanied by Toma Feizo Gas's creepy illustrations. This is a wonderful adventure story, with a bit of a creepy twist.
I definitely recommend this for anyone looking to read a traditional Inuit story, or anyone looking for a creepy mermaid tale. Recommended for all ages based upon whether or not a creepy mermaid image is going to spook you too much.
