The Museum Of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century New York, this enchanting tale weaves together the lives of two outsiders: Coralie, a young woman with webbed fingers who performs as a mermaid in her father's Coney Island sideshow, and Eddie, a Russian immigrant and photographer who has fled his Orthodox Jewish roots. As they navigate a world filled with wonder and danger, their paths cross amidst the chaos of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the mysterious disappearance of a young woman. Through their journey, they discover love, courage, and the power of self-discovery in a rapidly changing city.
