About this listen
An original novel written by New York Times best-selling author J. Elle inspired by Disney upcoming live action reimagining of The Little Mermaid.
After the death of Ariel's mother, the queen of the sea, the seven daughters of King Triton have grown estranged at best. It's been years since Ariel's older sisters have visited home. But this year's Coral Moon is fast approaching, and it's a special one for Ariel. Finally fifteen, she will be dubbed the Protector of her very own ocean territory as is tradition, and her sisters have agreed to visit for the celebration.
But the ceremony is halted when Mala, one of the most renowned daughters of Triton, is abducted. The only clue to where she might have been taken is a hastily scribbled seaweed note, which says, "What could have saved Mother could save me, too." To rescue Mala, Ariel must work together with her siblings, traveling to various seas, outsmarting dangerous ocean creatures, and delving into forbidden waters to find the truth of what happened to their mother.
But as Ariel and her sisters begin uncovering new secrets about their family and their kingdom, Ariel will have to face the loss of a mother she never had a chance to know and discover what it means to be both a good sister and a strong leader. And the clock is ticking, because on the day of the festival, when the moon turns a true shade of coral, her sister will be lost, like her mother, forever.

Before Prince Eric's mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse?

Story
Twelve-year-old Eugene Fitzherbert needs a plan. He loves Miss Calre and the boys at the orphanage, but he's not a little kid anymore. He can't spend his days getting into mischief and acting out his favorite passages from the Flynnigan Rider novels. In his imagination, he is that daring rogue Flynn Rider, and his best friend, Arnie, is famous thief Lance Strongbow, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Even though Eugene knows it's just a fun game, he can't help but wish there was more for him out there. Travel. Riches. And maybe, just maybe, his parents.

Drizella and Anastasia only know one thing for certain: they will never end up like their mother, Lady Tremaine. When their father left them as young girls, he took what was left of their family's fortune and their mother's dignity with him. A few years and one deceased stepfather later, the only version of Lady Tremaine that Drizella and Anastasia know is a bitter and cruel head of house. Anastasia and Drizella have promised themselves—and each other—that they'll be different. They'll find love, see the world, and never let their hearts go cold.

And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda!

AGINST THE TIDES OF TIME AND FAMILY
I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS STORY, IT IS ABOUT ARIEL OF COURSE, AND IS ABOUT TO BECOME A PROTECTOR OF HER OWN OCEAN, BUT SEA SERPENTS AND FRIENDS FACE BETRAYALS NEVER IMAGINED, WITH URSULA AS THE MASTERMIND OF IT ALL.
ARIELS OLDER SISTER IS MATED TO A SEA MONSTER. THIS I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MERMAIDS MATE WITH MERMAN OR HUMAN MEN. I HOPE DISNEY DID A BETTER JOB WITH THE MOVIE.....
NARRATOR DID A FANTASTIC JOB, BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR CHILDREN OR TEENS.

I love the back story to the little mermaid. I thought it was neat that each sister had a special power through their singing. I wish they would have included that in the movie. I also think that the book did good on focusing on the sister’s relationship unlike in the movie where it felt like they were background characters.
