The Shape of Water meets The Greatest Showman in this beautifully illustrated queer historical cozy fantasy, as a young Puerto Rican immigrant goes through a journey of love and self-discovery after capturing a merman for a Coney Island sideshow act in turn-of-the 20th century New York.

"A lushly illustrated historical romance . . . This book is a charming fable — an elemental dance of fire and water." ―THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW


“This is the start of something special.” —TJ KLUNE, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea

Benigno “Benny” Caldera knows an orphaned Boricua blacksmith in 1910s New York City can’t call himself an artist. But the ironwork tank he creates for famed Coney Island playground, Luna Park, astounds everyone, especially the eccentric side-show proprietor who commissioned it. Benny’s work earns him an invitation to join the show’s eclectic crew of performers—his first welcome in the city—and share in their astonishing secret: the tank Benny built is a cage for their newest exhibit, a living, breathing, in-the-flesh merman stolen from the banks of the East River under a gleaming full moon.

The merman is more than a mythic marvel, though. Benny comes to know Río as a clever philosopher, an observant traveler, and a kindred spirit more beautiful and compassionate than any human he’s ever met. Despite their different worlds, what begins as a friendship of necessity deepens to love, leading Benny’s heart into uncharted waters where he can no longer ignore the agonizing truth of Río’s captivity—and his own.

A cage is no place for a merman to survive. Though releasing Río means betraying his new family, bankrupting their home, and losing his soulmate forever, Benny must look within for the courage to do what’s right, and find a love strong enough to free them both.

I know where the sugar is
Size: 1 PT
I will say these are not only very large but that they are pretty tart. To me they are somewhat like a blue rasberry sucker. They seem pretty fresh. They were not mushy at all, very firm but not hard. They look pretty clean also. I would repurchase since I know where the sugar is and where the muffin recipes are.

Delicious fresh Blueberries at a fraction of the price!
Size: 1 PT
Absolutely delicious, and so much less expensive than at the store!! Beautiful plump Blueberries that taste great! At first I wasn't sure, since they cost so much less than at any store, but I decided to try them just in case they turned out to be good, and to leave a review for others. They came inside a foil-interior brown bag, each with rubber bands to keep them closed (great idea) and with a frozen water bottle to help keep them cool! That was a very nice added bonus.

Tastes Great
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
’ve been really impressed with the Bloom Nutrition Sparkling Energy Drink. It strikes a great balance between effective energy and a clean, refreshing taste. The fact that it contains 180mg of natural caffeine gives a noticeable boost without the jittery feeling or crash that some other energy drinks tend to cause. It feels smooth and steady, which makes it perfect for mornings or a midday pick-me-up. One of the standout features is that it’s completely sugar-free, yet still manages to taste flavorful and crisp. The light carbonation adds a refreshing touch, and the variety of fruit flavors keeps things interesting without being overly sweet or artificial. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into creating a drink that feels both enjoyable and functional. I also appreciate the added ingredients like prebiotics and plant-based caffeine sources, which make it feel like a more mindful alternative compared to traditional energy drinks. It’s nice knowing you’re getting a bit more than just caffeine. Overall, Bloom has created a great option for anyone looking for clean energy, good flavor, and a healthier approach to staying energized throughout the day. Highly recommend!

With 180mg of natural caffeine, I enjoy a smooth, steady energy boost without the jitters or crashes that come with other brands. Packed with green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, and prebiotics, I feel great about fueling my body with this drink. Zero sugar and genuinely tasty? Yes, please! I can't recommend it enough! 😊
