Skin of the Sea |
This is, yes, another YA novel; a fantasy and it is really exciting to see an author of colour stepping into this field to bring a fresh voice. Here we meet African myth and folklore. At its centre the Mami Wata, black mermaids both fearsome and benevolent and an array of deities opening eyes to the richness of African cultures. I was not bored - recommend to any teen or YA friends and relatives.
