Hans Christian Andersen's classic story is beautifully adapted for young readers. When the little mermaid gives up her voice in exchange for legs and a chance to meet her beloved human prince, she earns a real human soul.

This level includes some more challenging vocabulary and concepts, though the meaning is made clear through context and illustrations.
