The best YA novel I've read all year.” ― Daniel José Older, New York Times bestselling author of Shadowshaper A Song Below Water somehow manages to be intensely happy and sad at the same time and all in the balance of great, riveting storytelling. Morrow delivers a blistering modern classic with this gorgeous tale of friendship and power. “I love this book so, so much! Bethany C. An enthralling tale of black girl magic and searing social commentary ready to rattle the bones.” ― Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles series “A watery and melodic crossroads of the real and the mythic, A Song Below Water lures readers with its seductive and beautifully black siren song. Morrow elevates mermaids and sirens to legitimate and compelling vanguards for social change.” ― School Library Journal “Morrow has deftly woven a contemporary tale with mythical elements to take on the invisibility and marginalization of Black women, touching on issues such as misogynoir, body image, social justice, and generational trauma. A Song Below Water is a must-read for lovers of fantasy and contemporary stories alike. “Morrow expertly and smartly explores race, bigotry, oppression, and injustice against a backdrop of ordinary life with a dose of the supernatural added to the mix.
