REVIEWS FOR MERMAID MARY MARGARET

"...Mary Margaret is an absolutely delightful fourth-grader, who is at once childlike and alarmingly precocious. Hazen has written a charming account of a girl's voyage that includes not only the latitude and longitude but the discovery of some of the meaning of life, love, and family. A winner."
(Kirkus Reviews, June 2004)

"...Mary Margaret is an appealing character with an authentic voice and believable concerns and interests...an entertaining travel story."
(School Library Journal, September 2004)

"Shortly after her grandfather's death, Mary Margaret takes his place on a Greek islands cruise with her grandmother. On the trip, Mary and her grandmother cope with their grief, and Mary develops a stronger sense of self. This short, thoughtful novel, written as Mary's travel diary, is entertaining and features a believable eleven-year-old protagonist who fluctuates between childlike observations ad brief moments of insight." (Horn Book Guide, October 2004)

School Library Journal:
"Mary Margaret is an appealing character with an authentic voice and believable concerns and interests. Her grief over her grandfather's death and her concern about her grandmother add tenderness and emotional depth to the novel, while her obsession with mermaids...lightens the mood. ...an entertaining travel story." (excerpts from Ashley Larsen, Woodside Library, CA in School Library Journal, September 1, 2004)

Kirkus Reviews (the full review):
MERMAID MARY MARGARET
"Mary Margaret is convinced she's a mermaid, or, at the very least, that she can become one. Her grandfather, the only caring male in her life, has recently died, and she is taking her grandfather's place, accompanying her grandmother on a senior citizen's cruise through the Greek islands. Armed with glittery pens and a new journal, she writes of her experiences with some eccentric fellow travelers, her concern for her grandmother, her own grief, her impressions of the various ports of call, her very own seven wonders of the world, and, of course, the mermaid issue. Mary Margaret is an absolutely delightful fourth-grader, who is at once childlike and alarmingly precocious. Hazen has written a charming account of a girl's voyage that includes not only the latitude and longitude but the discovery of some of the meaning of life, love, and family. A winner.
(Fiction. 7-11)"
