Continuing on with my retold-fairy-tales theme from A Tale Dark & Grimm, I picked up this one, which I've been waiting to read for awhile.
Capsule Review: "This is a book that so easily could have had the wrong heroine. I spent a great deal of it going, 'Oh for Crissakes, Eleanora, grow up.' Though she is the Cinderella in this story, she's also whiny, self-pitying, and tends to depend on others to rescue her. It's our good luck that our heroine is Poppy, who is practical, capable, and brave."
I'm going to take a short knitting break (there was knitting all over this story!) and listen to some of my audiobook before picking up my next print book.

This was my suspicion about this book, so thanks for the review. Mandy Hubbard's Ripple was weirdly and wildly popular in my library after a language arts teacher book talked it, but I've read a fair number of mermaid books in the last six months and am getting a little weary of them!
You've done a great job on the challenge! Good luck with the rest of your time!
