Bayou Magic
3.5 starsWhile this was a nice blend of reality and magic during the summer of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, it didn't work for me as well as Ninth Ward and Sugar. I loved the relationships in the book; Maddy's love for her grandmother and her growing friendship with Bear, but the mermaids and the final resolution of the oil spill on her grandmother's small bayou community wasn't convincing for me. Still a good read and recommended for MG readers.
