About the Book



"Adapted in part from Disney's The Little Mermaid"--Title page verso.



Book Synopsis



The tale of the sea king's daughter Ariel is a beloved one of losing--and then finding--one's own voice.
The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the mergirl wants more than her world can offer, and her father demands that she live within the confines of his domain. Her rebelliousness costs the little mermaid her voice and nearly her soul. But the power of good prevails, and Ariel emerges proud and unchanged.
And yet this is only half the story. So what of Ariel's nemesis, Ursula, the sea witch? What led to her becoming so twisted, scorned, and filled with hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account of what might have shaped the sea witch into a detestable and poor unfortunate soul.

his book is super good! Ursula is always seen as the Villain in The Little Mermaid & she is a villain, but reading her backstory really made me re-see her a human with emotions & not a heartless soul of a sea witch. Ursula went through so much growing up having no family to love her for what she truly is, she lost her father, she did have the sister witches (mostly Circe who Ursula also tricked) as friends, & she did want Ariel (who is her niece) in her life, but with her insecurities, trauma, loss, wanting revenge, & heart break, she only cared about herself at the end of the day. ALSO READ THE DEDICATION FROM THE AUTHOR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK: THERE IS A FUN FACT THAT GOES BACK TO THE OTHER BOOKS!
