Why read it?
1 author picked The Changeling Sea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This quiet and strange fairy tale is one of my favorite escape reads. I first read it while I was in high school, and it so accurately captured my own youthful confusion, my own reluctance to separate dreams from reality, that I felt a deep relief.

When I encountered them again, after moving to coastal Virginia, they felt familiar because I had already encountered them in this book.
From Rae's list on awkward girls who loves books and the outdoors.
