Want want want.
The Forbidden Sea by Sheila A. Nielson
Published: July 1st 2010 by Scholastic Press
When Adrianne comes face-to-face with the mermaid of Windwaithe Island, of whom she has heard terrible stories all her life, she is convinced the mermaid means to take her younger sister. Adrianne, fierce-willed and courageous, is determined to protect her sister from the mermaid, and her family from starvation. However, the mermaid continues to haunt Adrianne in her dreams and with her song.
Yet, when the islanders find out about Adrianne's encounters with the mermaid she is scorned, for this small and superstitious community believes the mermaid will bring devastation to the island if Adrianne does not give herself to the sea.
A powerful and lyrical story of one girl who must choose between having everything and having those she loves.

Great pick! I love any book with mermaids!!
Carrie- Any book that even hints about mermaids just makes me squeal with childish delight. I do so love mermaids and still plan on being one when I grow up.
Looks like another I have to add to my list! I have an award for you here.
