The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag

 

In a bit of a reverse Little Mermaid story, Morgan, a 15-year-old girl living on an island, longs to grow up and get off the island and find a place where she can let her true self be known. But when a girl named Keltie appears mysteriously from the sea, she begins her journey of self-discovery without leaving home. Morgan has good friends, but hasn't let them in on her secret world, but worlds are going to collide and Morgan will have to take a chance and show her true self. It's colorful and inviting and will appeal to many graphic novel fans. This sweet romance is a hot item in my middle school library, where LGBTQ+ love stories are in high demand. It's a fantasy and a romance and a gentle graphic novel that will appeal to kids of many ages. Highly recommended for middle school library collections.
