Bethany C. Morrow’s A Song Below Water is a captivating modern fantasy that blends Black girl magic, friendship, and self-discovery against the backdrop of today’s racism and sexism.
In a world that fears and silences sirens, Tavia must keep her powers hidden to survive. Meanwhile, her best friend Effie battles family secrets and literal demons from her past. The two girls navigate the trials of junior year in Portland, Oregon—until a high-profile siren murder trial rocks the nation, and Tavia’s magical voice slips out at the worst possible moment.
As danger closes in, the girls must rely on the unbreakable bond of sisterhood to protect themselves from a world that wants to drown them.
