Fourteen-year-old Luce has had a tough life, but she reaches the depths of despair when she is assaulted and left on the cliffs outside of a grim, gray Alaskan fishing village. She expects to die when she tumbles into the icy waves below, but instead undergoes an astonishing transformation and becomes a mermaid. A tribe of mermaids finds Luce and welcomes her in—all of them, like her, lost girls who surrendered their humanity in the darkest moments of their lives. Luce is thrilled with her new life until she discovers the catch: the mermaids feel an uncontrollable desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to lure ships into the rocks. Luce possesses an extraordinary singing talent, which makes her important to the tribe—she may even have a shot at becoming their queen. However her struggle to retain her humanity puts her at odds with her new friends. Will Luce be pressured into committing mass murder?

The Insider's Scoop

Here’s some inside information about the characters in Lost Voices :

Catarina is still sixteen years old because mermaids are permanently stuck at the age they were when they stopped being human, but she was actually born in 1961. It does make me wonder: if a mermaid ever managed to change back into a human, would they count as their mermaid age, or as the age they would have been if they had kept on growing?


Some readers have noticed that Anais doesn’t really seem like the other mermaids, as if she was in a special category of her own. They’re right. She is different, and the reason she’s different is also the reason she’s so dangerous.


Luce was a big reader when she was human. Her favorite book at age ten was Bridge to Terabithia, and her favorite at thirteen was The Golden Compass. She has a special love for books with intense, imaginative girl characters. Reading is probably the one thing about being human that she misses the most.


Luce is my favorite character (of course) but there’s a new character named Nausicaa in the second book in the trilogy, Waking Storms, and I love her almost as much as Luce.


And that boy? His name is Dorian. He’s from Chicago. And he’ll be back. ( I love this line...it's so intriguing)
