Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero.

I don't remember anyone telling me we would need to cross a river like this. Heather and I exchange a worried glance. How are we going to get across this? We could try to swim, but I don't trust my limbs to get me to the other side. I slump on a rock protruding from the riverbed and dig in my bag until I come across The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall. Maybe I'll find some ideas in here.
