CriticsCritics: 55
AudienceAudience: 5.9

An awkward high school student discovers she comes from a family of warrior kraken who protect the oceans from mermaids. With new powers and a powerful grandmother preparing her to inherit the throne, she must find her place in her family and protect the people she cares about.

My take

You may enjoy this colorful, lighthearted coming-of-age adventure for its ocean fantasy, family themes, and messages about self-acceptance; Not for you if you want an unpredictable story or unusually fresh ideas.
