About this listen

Fourteen-year-old Luana has always felt more at home in the ocean than on land, especially when the world above gets too loud, too fast, and too much. But nothing could prepare her for the day she and her brother rescue an octopus... and find themselves pulled into an underwater world they never imagined.

Welcome to the Intertidal School of the Pacific—a secret academy hidden beneath the waves where mermaids teach other merfolk and a select few humans to become ocean Guardians. Paired with a fierce animal Defender, Luana must learn to navigate magic, danger, and the unspoken language of the sea.

But something is wrong in the deep. A strange, shimmering force is spreading through the ocean, thriving on greed and leaving chaos in its wake. As Luana and her new friends race to uncover the truth, she’ll have to face her deepest fears, unlock her hidden strength, and decide who she really wants to be.

Because saving the sea… might just mean saving herself.

Unique story that’s very important the message is great for conservation and as someone else has mentioned it is a bit like underwater Hogwarts. Great for kids and adults alike but maybe slightly older kids due to the nature of some of the things discussed. Voices are great - takes a little while to get into but once it gets going it’s great. Also discussed anxiety - something I think a lot of people can relate to. Educational aswell. Would have been 5stars all round but the thumping noise in the background (especially when wearing headphones) is really grating especially with someone sensory. Can’t wait for the next books!
