Things are going along as usual in the town. Then someone “a monster” named Ursula comes and starts torturing humans. She called sirens “Ursula’s minions” and they stared singing, which made the humans ears bleed, but she didn’t want them to die, just suffer. So she said a spell. Then a glow in the sky over the ocean brought one of the most powerful people ever King Triton. Ursula hated her brother ever since he abandoned her at birth to humans. When Ursula was very young her father found her at sea. He raised her as his own, but the village found her weird. She keep getting the urge to jump in the ocean. One day she did and she then grew tentacles. The villagers then new she was a witch. As they put her on the wood pole. Right before they were about to watch her burn her father came in and saved her.

Ursula then watched her father get torn apart by the villagers. She then jumped into the ocean and never looked back. Well, back to the other part of the story. Triton and Ursula hated eachother, but Ursula was needed by the odd sisters Ruby, Martha, and Lucinda. They are a set of three witches. They needed Ursula’s help to find there other sister Circe. She went missing a couple days ago they also had a magical cat named Pflanze “who played a pretty big part in the story”, but if Ursula was going to help them she needed there help with killing Triton so she can get revenge. Her plan was to get Ariel “because she found out that she has fallen in love with a prince named Eric” so she would get Ariel to sign a paper so she could kill her by law, but Triton would do anything to keep his youngest daughter safe. So then Triton would take her place and Ursula would kill him.

Will Ursula’s plan be a success? Will the odd sisters get Circe back? Read the book to find out. I will give this book five stars and everyone who likes Disney should read this book. It will totally change your thinking of The Little Mermaid. This book has blood and one curse word that Ursula says, but if you don’t mind that than you should read this book.
