My Fishy Stepmom is about eleven year old Josephine who lost her mom at a young age and loved life with her dad. Her other love is cricket. Josephine had grown accustom to it being her and her dad only. She’s been battling with her dad’s “friends” ensuring that none of them get “comfortable” with her dad. In steps Mariss and the battle begins. Houston we have a problem!
This YA/Teen story which was set in Barbados, was a finalist in the 2018 Burt Award for Caribbean Young Adult Literature. My Fishy Stepmom is a funny and captivating story loaded with Barbadian folklore which intrigued me and scared me a bit 🤦🏽♀️🤣. I loved the interactions between Josephine and Ahkai and my favorite chapter is Chapter 8. Mariss intrigued me as she did Josephine. I think I held my breath while reading the last 5 chapters!
I look>forward to reading Josephine Against The Sea (North American edition) to see the differences to My Fishy Stepmom.
Thank you Shakirah.
