A review by redfae
The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag

5.0

This is an adorable cute graphic novel about coming of age and coming out. It’s a quick read.

Morgan is going through a lot at home. She has a close knit group of friends she tends to hang out with. Until she meets Keltie. Keltie isn’t any ordinary girl, she’s a Selkie. After sharing a kiss with Morgan, she can now walk on land.

Morgan isn’t ready to come out to her friends and family about having a girlfriend. Morgan tries to keep Keltie separate from them and Keltie become her secret. She’s not the only one with a secret. Keltie needs the help of Morgan and one of her friends.

This story had tons of ups and downs. There’s a great twist at the end I didn’t see coming. The story has a feel good vibe and will leave you feeling happy.

Read it for the beauty of a graphic novel, the sweet story of first love, and Selkie magic.
