A Comb of Wishes
by Lisa Stringfellow

Description
Twelve-year-old Kela is still mourning her mother when she finds a mermaid's comb while she and her friend are looking for sea glass on her Caribbean island; such combs have magic in them, and touching it opens a connection to the mermaid Ophidia who can grant her wish, to bring her mother back to life--but all wishes have consequences, and magic demands a price which may prove to be more painful than the loss of her mother.Tags

I was surprised at how easy it was to fall into this story -- love the culture, the mermaid, the talent and friendship between Kela and Lissy. The grief is hard, but the story is strong, and it tells us what they all do -- that loss is important, and cannot be cheated.
This was an awesome book! I highly recommend it; this book had seafolk, folklore, a fantastic way to start every story "Crick, crack", and family. I teared up a couple of times when Kela was dealing with her mom.
I hope Lisa Stringfellow continues writing books because this was amazing!
