Donna Driver does a fantastic job exploring the ideas behind such a discovery – who would ‘own’ the creatures? Do they have rights like us? How would media, science and big corporations all handle this discovery? This kick starts the main plot of the book. Suddenly she finds she has a vested interest in the environment as she dedicates herself to trying to help these creatures. When she and her father are first on the scene of a major oil spill they encounter mermaids washed up, covered in oil and grime. Cry of the Sea is about June, a young girl who’s parents are pushing her to follow their paths in environmental issues. In celebration of Earth Day (April 22) I am reviewing a Young Adults book with strong environmental themes.
