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.… (más)

As is typical of Kay O'Neill's graphic novels, Aquicorn Cove features lovely artwork, cute animals, and diverse characters. That said, it also felt a bit shorter and less developed than O'Neill's other books, and the message felt a bit overly preachy. I did not like the detail of Lana's aunt smoking, which felt wholly unnecessary, especially in a book for kids. The aquicorns were adorable, though, and I'm sure some readers will love them and this sweet story. ( )

From the first page, I adored this diverse, relevant graphic novel that stirred my ocean-loving eco-protecting mermaid heart. New Zealand based author Katie O'Neill has created a call for action to protect our oceans, while also offering an insightful, loving look at how (non-nuclear) families and communities support each other. The art is just so cute. I want an aquicorn! The relationship between Mae and Aure was stunning, beautifully depicted, though I think I loved Lana's connection with the ocean and the natural world even more. The author has dedicated the book to "everyone who protects the sea, and for those who will inherit the responsibility." Truly inspiring, and I am getting a copy for my classroom library! This joins my favorite middle grade graphic novels along with The Tea Dragon Society, Tidesong, Katie the Catsitter, My Brother's Husband, and Witches of Brooklyn. LOVE! ( )

Yes, I'm only giving this one star.

May contain SPOILERS.

There is no plot.
Lana's reaction to her mother's death is unbelievable.
Lana cannot be the child of her parents due to how different her coloring is to her parents.
Environmental issues regarding the ocean have been known about for over 30 years.
The "subtle" lesbianism is really unnecessary.
This graphic novel is an "agenda piece" aimed at children (why not write a nonfiction graphic novel about ocean environmental issues instead in the same style).
The aquicorns have little to no role and the title and summary heavily suggest otherwise.
This could have been decent but it was a complete fail. ( )

So many things I love about the book --

the adorable illustrations (just gorgeous)
the community clean-up -- brings the disasters in Puerto Rico and other coastal communities home
the environmental message -- not just that we must change, but ways in which we can change
the clear love of the sea and worry about the ways in which we are damaging it
the lovely, gentle, implied lesbian relationship from 2 positive role models
the people of color thoughout the book
the realistic depiction of grief at the death of a parent, and of depression.

It's an amazing bundle of feelings and story, especially given the somewhat minimal text. The only thing I don't like is the one panel where the aunt is smoking. Strong work! ( )
