Loading... Aquicorn Coveby Kay O'Neill
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   )1   Heather39 | Nov 7, 2023 |   ) emmy_of_spines | Sep 8, 2022 | ) starlight-glimmer | Jul 26, 2022 | 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. (  ) pacbox | Jul 9, 2022 | 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!

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. No library descriptions found. |
