Description
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?

🌊 Alea Aquarius: The Colors of the Sea – A Magical Middle Grade Adventure
This book is absolutely brimming with imagination! Alea Aquarius: The Colors of the Sea continues Alea’s journey with all the ingredients middle grade readers love: underwater mystery, friendship, magical self-discovery, and just the right amount of mischief.
🧜♀️ What I Enjoyed:
✨ The story world is vivid and whimsical—perfect for readers who dream of oceans, mermaids, and mystical legends.
🎸 The Alpha Cru’s band moments and Alea’s growing connection with Lennox add charming layers to the story, blending modern life with ancient magic.
🗺️ The journey to Loch Ness is a fun twist that gives the story a slightly darker edge while keeping it kid-friendly and adventurous.
While the book was a little much for me personally—so many elements packed into one story—it’s exactly the kind of bold, magical tale that will capture the hearts of younger readers looking for fantasy with heart and humor.
💬 Final Take: A vibrant, fast-paced ocean adventure for readers who love big feelings, deep mysteries, and magical destinies.
