Aquamarine | Alice Hoffman
18 posts | 17 read | 5 to read
Best-selling author Alice Hoffman's luminous tale of nostalgia and enchantment, for readers both young and old. 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 in the depths is a mysterious and beautiful creature with a sharp tongue and a broken heart: a mermaid named Aquamarine who has left her six sisters to search for love on land. Now, as this mythological yet very real being starts to fade in the burning August sun, a rescue is begun. On the edge of growing up, during a summer that is the hottest on record, Hailey and Claire are discovering that life can take an unpredictable course, friendship is forever, and magic can be found in the most unexpected places.

I remember buying this book from a used book sale as a child bc aquamarine has always been one of my favorite movies of all time. But then i let a friend at the time borrow the book and then she turned out to be an evil person and I never got my book back. But I finally bought a new copy! Best movie ever best book ever!

So update on Aquamarina she has to go see a gi specialist for the reflux she lost weight again from spitting up to much

BookLineNSinker My son has similar issues and we really struggled with it. There were times when the doctor's were telling me that he was going to beat failure to thrive but he couldn't digest milk or soy protein so he got put on a special (super expensive) formula called Alimentum and then almond milk. He flourished after the formula change, however to this day he won't drink milk and is rather tiny. Hang in there!! 1y
MoonWitch94 Hang in there, Mama! ♥️ 1y
dabbe Feel better, Aquamarina, and hang in there, Momma! ❣️ 1y

ravenlee Good luck! Had reflux issues with kiddo that didn‘t really resolve until she was eating solids. We never had to see a specialist, but it was a real struggle. Mine was fine for years and then started having reflux cough again when she was about 7. 1y
BethM Hang in there it‘s so hard! Meds helped my son a bunch then around one we didn‘t need them anymore! 1y
ShelleyBooksie She is so beautiful!!! 1y
RavenclawPrincess913 @BookLineNSinker thanks I'm Anaphylaxic to dairy and than allergic to soy the doctor said don't eat any beef till we see doctor it's slowly starting to help it probably is that hopefully it is cause all ill have to do is avoid beef until I'm done breastfeeding will I hate it yes but rather deal with that and get to still breastfeed when given formula with milk and soy she was throwing up non stop last 2 days and barely keeping anything down 1y
RavenclawPrincess913 @BookLineNSinker hopefully my husband listens and doesn't give it to her again 🤦🏽‍♀️ swear he has 2 brain cells sometimes it clearly says it had milk and soy it was right after appointment where doctor said no dairy. Soy or beef. He could've just brought her into the lab I was waiting for bloodwork in 🤦🏽‍♀️ next time I'm bringing her with me 1y
RavenclawPrincess913 @ravenlee thank you I have reflux issues too than both my sisters and my mom have it so it doesn't surprise me she is having same issue 1y

I read this as a palate cleanser between books. It was a light and quick read. I enjoyed it, but I think I‘d have loved it more back when I was 10-12 years old. Fun and frothy book about friendship and change. 🧜🏼‍♀️🌀🌊💕🐚

A quick read about summer, friendship, and saying goodbye. Claire and Hailey have spent every summer together for 12 years. Now, Claire is moving at the end of this summer to Florida and the girls worry it will mean the end of their friendship. This is a simple read and only 104 pages. It's perfect for striving readers, especially those who like mermaids.

Reread! I liked the story but totally forgot that Aquamarine was kind of snotty. It's a cute story, though. And I still like it after all these years. Short and sweet.

I read this Hoffman YA title years ago and to be honest I don't remember much about it but I do remember thinking that I prefer her adult titles.
