The novel that I read is Forbidden Sea by Sheila A. Nielson. The main character of this story is Adrianne Keynnman. She is a thin and has a pale looking face. She is fourteen years old. She lives with her mother Giselle, nine year old sister Cecily and aunt Minnah. Adrianne is a very responsible and hardworking girl. She became the person incharge in her family since her father passed away two years ago. She is the one looking after her family.

Moreover, she is a very brave girl. She is almost lose her sister, Cecily in the sea when a mermaid tried to pull her. She was very brave until she fought back the mermaid with every ounce of her strength to protect her little sister.

In addition, she is a loving and caring person. For example, she loved her mother and sister very much. She took care of her sick mom when she was very ill. She did all the housework, milk the cows and so on. She was very determined to protect her family when the mermaid attempts to lure her into the sea, night and day. From that day onwards, she became more careful about her family’s safety.

Adrianne is a very quiet and a demure girl. She doesn’t talk much even to her aunt. The boys in her village always tease her and make her angry. Although she loses her temper every time, she still stays calm and relaxed. She doesn’t want any fight to happen.
