This is almost the retelling of The Little Mermaid. Evangeline is a bit naive and the story is a bit unrealistic. I wouldn't get for the library because it's a bit unbelievable even by a stretch. But on the other side, it is sort of sweet and if you are looking for Christian romance... there you go.
As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Hagenheim The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson
It's a very different from the Aladdin that has magic in the story. Instead it is a straight forward story of two young people who fall in love. Aladdin is transported to Germany, not by magic carpet but by a knight who sees something in this special orphan. He is given an education and is very clever with math. He also has a friendship with the Duke's daughter and they have a life lasting bond. But then there's trouble. This is Christian genre. It's fine for reading.

The Piper’s Pursuit by Melanie Dickerson
This is the retelling of the Pied Piper and the Prodigal Son. A young woman has an evil step father. A problem of missing children and an infestation of rats becomes a mystery that she has to solve. It's a clean story. Audio book also good. Enjoy. Fine for any library.
