The 'Water Tales' series by Alice Hoffman takes readers on a whimsical journey filled with magical realism and heartfelt friendships. In 'Aquamarine,' you'll join Hailey and Claire as they spend their last summer together, only to find their lives turned upside down by the discovery of a mermaid named Aquamarine in an abandoned pool. The story blends the enchanting allure of the ocean with the bittersweet moments of growing up. 'Indigo' dives into the dry, dusty town of Oak Grove, where Martha and her two unique friends, Trout and Eel, dream of escaping to the sea. Together, they face a storm that will reveal hidden truths and the real meaning of home. Both stories are short but very engaging, making them perfect for a cozy read that evokes the magic of summertime and the depth of true friendship.
