What a fascinating, mystical, exhilarating story! The Selkie’s Daughter brings to life the mythical selkie, a creature who can shift between a seal in water and a human on land. Selkies are found primarily in Celtic mythology. Selkies can be friendly and helpful to humans or vengeful and frightening. In this story, the reader sees both aspects of their personality. The book tells of a young girl whose mother is a selkie and who shows some selkie characteristics herself. The novel has several themes – family, friendship, fishermen, bullies, community, and of course, the mystical selkies. I loved the book because it contains many natural storylines, always underscored by the beautiful myth. Each chapter begins with a song or poem verse about Celtic traditional figures of lore or about selkies. Linda Crotta Brennan’s writing is quite simple yet magnificent in its storytelling. The Selkie’s Daughter is a lovely story, suitable for young people or adults.
Thank you to NetGalley and Holiday House for the opportunity to read the ARC of this novel.

This is an okay book. It consisted of some great facts and was informative, but there was a high lack of engagement. It is one that I would use to talk about air quality, but I would definitely add my own twist to it and make it more engaging. I would do this more for younger grades, but it would probably be fine for higher grades. If you are using it for higher grades a really nice things about it is a chapter book. It uses a little bit of some higher language and has more information they would be able to learn about.… (més)

This is a decent introductory book about managing money. I didn't find the illustrations particulary intriguing, but the book discusses what a budget is and also distinguishes the difference between wants and necessities, as well as short-term and long-term goals. I think the book has good take aways for kids as it discusses money management in a simple and easy to uderstand manner.
