About the book

Lana returns to her childhood home to help her Aunt Anne clean up after a major storm damages their coastal village. While walking along the shore, she discovers an injured Aquicorn—a small, seahorse-like magical creature—and learns of an entire underwater society living beneath the waves. As Lana cares for the creature, she uncovers the tension between the village’s dependence on the ocean for food and the devastating impact of overfishing and pollution on the coral reefs where the Aquicorns reside.

This graphic novel serves younger readers and families interested in environmental stewardship and marine biology. It provides a clear look at how human consumption cycles affect vulnerable ecosystems and the difficult choices required to maintain sustainable coastal communities. Readers walk away with a specific understanding of reef health, the consequences of industrial waste, and how individual responsibility contributes to broader ecological conservation efforts. Through the lens of fantasy, the book illustrates the physical connection between land management and ocean survival.
