The mermaid Margareta saved Prince Erik from a shipwreck. Wanting to see the prince again, Margareta strikes a bargain with the Master of Beacon Isle. If she saves his sons from a terrible curse, he will reunite her with Prince Erik. All she has to do is stay silent until the curse is broken.

Silence
Fun spin on my favorite Disney movie The little Mermaid.
Lovely retelling!
I really enjoyed this retelling of The Little Mermaid. It brought a beautiful aspect to a powerful maiden willing to sacrifice for family, but also take steps to control her future. Margarita has a true friend in Penelope and her connection with Erik was so powerful.
The only thing I wish would have been added was a little more into her brothers’ insight toward the ending. It would have given it a little more depth to how they didn’t deserve her sacrifice.

Margareta is a mermaid, or at least part mermaid (her father says she is a siren). She has agreed to remain silent (for how long she doesn’t know) in order to break a curse put on her brothers (they have been turned into crows). Years of silence have not broken the curse, and she is losing the Prince she loves. What can she do? On a beautiful day when Margareta was returning to the beach after some mermaid time to herself, the solution presents itself in the form of a love-struck prince, some angry birds, and an even angrier enchantress. In Silence, Demelza Carlton has created a clever retelling of the Little Mermaid. The story and characters are familiar, with a couple of intense twists. This engaging version of a favorite fairytale is narrated beautifully by Mary Sarah.
