The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag

Ages: 12 and up

At 15, Morgan knows she’d rather date girls. And she also knows she’s not ready to tell her friends and family. In fact, waiting until she graduates high school is soon enough. Then she shares her first kiss with a girl...a selkie no less!...and everything changes. I love the way this coming-of-age fantasy is presented in such a sweet, genuine, authentic fashion.
