Shirley J                      Young Adult Fiction                  Ariel, the Little Mermaid's continuing saga 5 years later.

I loved this book!  Omgosh, it is so well written and truly captures the entire spirit of the Disney version of the Little Mermaid Story complete with Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, King Triton and the whole cast.   The story picks up 5 years later -Ariel is Queen of the Ocean because her father is presumed dead, the Prince is still under the sea witch's spell and he is married to the sea witch who is still in the guise of Vanessa, now Princess Vanessa still singing and speaking with Ariel's mellifluous voice.   Princess Vanessa has delegated Prince Eric to realm Bard as poet, maker of plays, and music while she runs the country into the ground bringing chaos and war to the land.  She gets such a kick out of mortals they are so easily lead and she leads them to mass destruction while she sits back and laughs.   This is a wonderful sequel to the story and catches us up on every character from the original.   This book is Book 5 in the A  Twisted Tale series.   I am hooked and will be checking out the rest of the books in the series (12 total counting this one).   I recommend this one to young and old and especially young at heart.   Loved it.
