Plain Jane and the Mermaid

Everyone thinks Jane is plain. After Jane’s family decides to kick Jane out of her own home, she comes up with a plan. If she can get married in a week, her family will finally bring her back and accept her. Jane’s original plan was to propose to her crush, Peter, but what will Jane do when she finds out he’s been taken away by a mermaid? With the help of her trusty seal friend, Mr. Whiskers, she’ll have to search the deep sea to find him.

I enjoyed this book and its strange plot. The theme and backgrounds reminded me a lot of Disney animations such as The Little Mermaid. I loved looking at the character designs and storyboards shared at the end of the book. The color schemes in the book are also really pretty. The backstory was good too, I liked how the author made mermaids the supervillains of the book. Jane’s family situation was really unfair, but everything tied together at the end. The ending was my favorite part!
