About the Book : A Comb of Wishes
Lisa Stringfellows spellbinding middle grade debut tells of a vengeful mermaid
and a girl mourning her mothers death and will enchant readers who loved Kacen
Callenders Hurricane Child or Christian McKay Heidickers Scary Stories for Young
Foxes.
Ever since her mothers death, Kela feels every bit as broken as the shards of
glass known as "mermaids tears" that sparkle on the Caribbean beaches of St.
Rita. So when Kela and her friend Lissy stumble across an ancient-looking comb
in a coral cave, with all shes already lost, Kela cant help but bring home her
very own found treasure.
