Maggie Tokuda-Hall is the author of Also an Octopus, illustrated by Benji Davies. This is her first novel. She lives in San Francisco.
Bloody, poetic, rich with pirate politics, captured mermaids and a
witch who wields the magic of stories, Tokuda-Hall’s debut is
original, satisfying and romantic – a swashbuckler with great
imagination and emotional depth.
*The Guardian*
“The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea will take you on the journey
of a lifetime. Maggie Tokuda-Hall has created characters I’ve never
seen before, then put them in an adventure that feels more real
than real life and twice as unpredictable. I wanted to live in the
world of this book forever, and I can’t stop obsessing about the
rich tapestry of pirates, mermaids, witches, and conniving nobles
who inhabit it. The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea might just
remind you of why you fell in love with adventure in the first
place and change how you think about the genre forever. I envy
anyone who’s getting to experience this incredible book for the
first time.”
*Charlie Jane Anders, author of the Nebula Award–winning novel All
the Birds in the Sky*
“An utterly romantic and breathless adventure that wouldn’t let me
sleep until I’d devoured every last word. It’s a journey of love,
magic, and self-discovery unlike any I’ve ever read.”
*Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights and editor of His Hideous
Heart*
One of the best YA books I've read this year
*Katherine Webber*
[…] this was a fast paced, enjoyable read with some thoughtful and
relevant issues raised. A book which will most appeal to teenage
girls into adventure/fantasy/ romance around Year 9 and above.
*The School Librarian*
