I’ve been in the mood for fantasy stories and mermaids lately, so I was happy to get The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel . It is written by Rhonda Cleary, and the artwork is done by Valentina Brancati, Andrea Greppi, Lorenzo Fornaciari, and Marco Leoni. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite fairytales, so I was eager to see what adventure was in store for Ariel in this graphic novel.

You Gave Me Lies


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow

Hoping I would like them,

Hoping I wouldn’t know.

You said, “It was a mistake!

What are you being mean for?!”


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow.

I don’t put up with anyone’s nonsense;

You of all people should know.
