Keeper (***)

Keeper is a book about a girl who thinks that her mom is a mermaid so she sets out on a quest to see if she is right. Signe, who adopted Keeper, tells her that mermaids are not real. Nothing can change Keeper's mind. On the little boat with her dog who's name is BD (which stands for Best Dog) she starts to remember some things about her mother. Like on her third birthday her mother set her in a wooden bowl in the ocean and told her to ride the waves back to shore. It was Signe who rescued her and wrapped her up in a towel.
Read the book to find out if Keeper's mother really was a mermaid.

This book is 399 pages long. I will give it three out o five stars (***.)
