Unable to rely on the adults in her storm-ravaged seaside town, a young girl must protect a colony of magical seahorse-like creatures she discovers in the coral reef... A heartfelt story about learning to be a guardian to yourself and those you love. When Lana and her father return to their seaside hometown to help clear the debris of a big storm, Lana remembers how much she's missed the ocean--and the strong, reassuring presence of her aunt. As Lana explores the familiar beach, she discovers something incredible: a colony of Aquicorns, small magical seahorse-like creatures that live in the coral reef. Lana rescues an injured Aquicorn and cares for it with the help of her aunt, who may know more about these strange creatures than she's willing to admit. But when a second storm threatens to reach the town, choices made many years ago about how to coexist with the sea start to rise to the surface. Lana realizes she will need to find the strength to stand on her own, even when it means standing up to the people who she has always relied on to protect her.

5 stars This is my favourite Katie O'Neill so far! The illustrations are gorgeous and it has a good message. Absolutely recommend 💖
An incredibly well written and illustrated graphic novel about ocean preservation and the power of communities. Thank you for presenting strong and beefy female characters, complex life stories and the importance of caring for a complex ecosystem.
Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
