Until one day, a mysterious new girl appears on the beach, with long greeny-gold hair and pale, pale skin. The two soon become inseparable. But when the time comes, can Eliza let her new friend return to her home under the sea?
An enchanting, touching tale about friendship, filled with a wonderful sense of magic, myth and mystery.

From Booklist:
The ocean setting is part of the magic in this lyrical picture-book fantasy about a lonely girl who makes friends with a mermaid and then cannot let her go. Shy, solitary Eliza is close only with her fisherman dad. Then one day at the shore, she meets Freya, who gives Eliza a magical shell, and when Eliza puts the shell to her ear, she hears “songs so beautiful that they have to be shared.” Freya is a mermaid who wants to go back to her world beneath the sea, but she has lost her mirror and cannot return without it, so she stays with Eliza, longing for home. Then Eliza finds the mirror, but can she part with her beloved companion? The paintings, in ocean shades, are both glamorous and stormy, and show Eliza’s bond with the beautiful, glittery mermaid, as well as the raging seas and Freya’s grieving mother. Anyone who has listened to a shell will recognize the music. An accompanying CD features the author's reading of the story. Preschool-Grade 2. --Hazel Rochman
