Publisher's summary
Best-selling author Alice Hoffman's luminous tale of nostalgia and enchantment, for listeners both young and old.
Twelve-year-old best friends Hailey and Claire are spending their last summer together when they discover something at the bottom of the murky pool at the Capri Beach Club. There, among the seaweed and jellyfish that a summer storm has blown in from the ocean, is a mysterious and beautiful creature with a sharp tongue and a broken heart—a mermaid named Aquamarine.
As her six sisters beckon her to return to the sea, Aquamarine stubbornly persists in her search for love on land. But as she starts to fade in the burning August sun, a rescue must begin.
On the edge of growing up, during a summer that is the hottest on record, Hailey and Claire learn that life can take an unpredictable course, that friendship is forever, and that magic can be found in the most unexpected places.
Alice Hoffman is the author of twelve acclaimed and bestselling novels which have been published in more than 20 languages, including Illumination Night, At Risk, Turtle Moon, Practical Magic, which was released as a major motion picture, Here on Earth, an Oprah's Book Club Selection, and most recently, The River King. Her collection of interconnected stories, Local Girls, was chosen by School Library Journal as one of the first best adult books for young listeners.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
