Keeper by Kathi Appelt
3.0
Keeper had a terrible day and believes that the only way she can reverse it is by meeting her mermaid mom and asking for a wish. Late at night, Keeper and her dog, BD, take a row boat out into the Gulf of Mexico. The narrative describes what lead up to this quest and provides viewpoints from all characters.
The day was supposed to be great, with the blue moon, crab gumbo, and Dogie two word song for Signe. In the end, things were broken, people were mad, and it was Keeper's worst day ever. Will Keeper find the help she needs?
This book was okay. The whole time I was worried about the girl dying and readers her age attempting to do the same thing, and also dying (very traumatic). There was a sense of beauty to it, but the mixture of realism and fantasy didn't work for me in this novel.
