There were a couple more issues that were a bit more serious that were touch on in this story, but not talked about in great depth it was part of the story, but not THE story.I loved the cover and it's soft colors. Mara was interesting, but I felt it was kind of weird that Noah would want to immediately befriend a girl who was running around in an oversized men's shirt and string as a belt for clothing. I liked them, but I just didn't fall in love with them. Noah was nice and hardworking and Lo was quiet, but a good sister. We get to see the story from different views, so we get to see on land and in the water with the selkies and hear some abut selkie lore.As for the characters, I liked them, but I wasn't as connected with them as I would have liked to have been. I have never been to New Hampshire, but I hope it is as lovely in real life as it is in the story. The story was very well-written and I enjoyed the visuals that came from the author's descriptions. This was my first selkie story and it was interesting and a nice read.
