A mer-girl continues her search to uncover her mysterious origins...

Perfect for fans of middle-grade oceanic adventures like Percy Jackson and The Girl Who Drank the Moon

Alea Aquarius: The Colors of the Sea picks up immediately after Book 1, with Alea coming to terms with her mermaid heritage and more determined than ever to discover what befell her parents—and her people. When a cryptic clue leads her and her friends—Ben, Sammy, Tess, and Lennox—north to the legendary waters of Loch Ness, they dive headfirst into an undersea mystery filled with ancient secrets and unexpected connections.

As Alea and Lennox grow closer, she can’t shake the question: is he a fellow merperson—or something even more surprising? Away from the safety of the Alpha Cru, their adventures become increasingly daring.

Between impromptu shore excursions, impassioned band performances, and Sammy’s ever-present sense of humor, Alea must balance her loyalties on land and beneath the waves. Will the bottom of Loch Ness finally reveal the truth, or is she swimming straight into a trap?
