Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant Caribbean setting, a mermaid yearns for the world above. When she falls for a prince, a sea witch offers a potion to make her human. But if the prince doesn't love her back, the spell will shatter. Will love conquer all, or will the mermaid's dreams dissolve with the tide? Dive into this reimagined tale where love and identity hang in the balance.

From the publisher

A classic fairy tale gets a fresh twist in this vibrant Caribbean spin on the Little Mermaid! The Little Mermaid longs to know about the world above the ocean. When she’s finally old enough to visit, she falls in love with a prince! A sea witch agrees to give the mermaid a potion that will make her human—but the spell will be broken if the prince doesn’t love her too! Set in the Caribbean, with beautiful illustrations by Puerto Rican illustrator Nivea Ortiz, this fifth book in the Once Upon a World series is the same beloved fairy tale but it’s totally reimagined. Once Upon a World offers a multicultural take on the fairy tales we all know and love. Because these tales are for everyone, everywhere.
