Synopsis

Emma and her friend Chloe are spending their vacation in Florida. When Emma literally runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he's a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange—is it attraction?—and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he's heard of—a human who can communicate with fish. What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma's gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she's the key to saving his kingdom. Soon, Emma can't deny her feelings for him, but she can't explain them either—and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings.Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

Goodreads review by Giselle

With a beautiful cover like this it's hard to resist not checking out what Of Poseidon is all about. I haven't had the best of luck with mermaid books in the past, though I haven't read very many of them. Of Poseidon is, so far, one of the better ones I've had the experience of reading. It has an in......more

Goodreads review by Amanda

Full Review When I was younger, I wanted to be a dolphin. Once I realized that was unlikely, I settled for being a mermaid. I've been mildly obsessed ever since.

Quotes

“A refreshing story filled with vibrant characters, feisty humor, and an irresistible romance. This story of star-crossed lovers in a luscious coastal setting brings new life to the age-old myth of merfolk and left me swooning for more!”
Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author

“This book, described on the back cover as a ‘fish-out-of-water’ story is much, much more…Banks’ well-crafted plot twists and turns, and questions come up faster than a scuba diver in shallow water…This is a compelling read with a cliffhanger ending.”
Children’s Literature

“A sweet mermaid romance…[with] a great deal of charm.”
Publishers Weekly

“Sparkling conversation dominates this lively performance, although Galen and his friend Toraf’s voices are sometimes similar. Gibel’s flirty banter will make a big splash with listeners.”  AudioFile

“Another twist on the mermaid theme comes with a hefty dose of romance and a heavier dollop of comedy in this debut.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Intriguing.”
School Library Journal
