2012 Book Review #73:

Title: Home from the Sea
Author: Mercedes Lackey
Genre: Victorian fantasy (part of loose series--most aren't necessary to follow this one, but this won't make a lot of sense without having read The Wizard of London first)
Thingummies: 3.5

Synopsis: Mari has always known her father was unusually lucky in fishing. But when she discovers that the water sprites she's been hallucinating are real, she also discovers the dangerous bargain her family has made. Now, it's only with the help of two mediums, Nan and Sarah, that she can find a way to save her family.
