Beyond the Deep By Trevor Darby

Serina is a young mermaid wishing, praying, dreaming of being something, anything but blond.

In her world, you have to hope your color (hair and tail) changes before your 13th birthday. Hers hasn't. She did well enough on her entrance exam to be admitted to the prestigious Academy, but if her color doesn't come in, she will be kicked out and banished.

It is a great story of friends, enemies and intrigue.

I think you will enjoy it, whatever your age.

The Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock

Edyth Foster is a talented, eccentric heiress, who doesn't give a whit what society thinks! She fences, rides her velocipede, and doesn't wear a corset or often even a hat. Her fencing instructor Bane knows she is a world class opponent, but hasn't thought of her in any other way for years since he started teaching her as a young girl. So far, it has escaped him that she is now a woman of five and twenty and drop dead gorgeous as well! When he does realize that fact, What follows is not what you might expect...including treachery, revealed past secrets, a Pinkerton agent and Nellie Bly! I won't spoil the story, but it is a wonderful read!

Wow, what a story of Love and loss and heartache in the midst of the civil war. The suffering on both sides was horrible and the stories of the families on the edges is not often told. I appreciated the attempt to remain historically accurate when possible and the soul searching folks on both sides must have gone through.  A wonderful story.
