Eisner Award winner Katie O'Neill, author of the comics «Princess + Princess: Happily Ever After and The Tea Dragon Society, offers readers of The Cove of the Hydrogen a sweet and heartfelt story about becoming an advocate for yourself and your loved ones.

Lana and her father return to their seaside hometown to help clear the rubble after a storm. The girl suddenly realises how much she misses the ocean - and her aunt, a woman of determination and kindness. Walking along the familiar shore, Lana finds a miracle: a colony of seaweed, magical creatures similar to seahorses that live on a coral reef. Lana rescues and takes home an injured seahorse. Her aunt, who seems to know more about these strange creatures than she is telling, helps her look after it.

Another storm comes ashore, and the choice made many years ago about how the village should coexist with the sea comes to the fore. Lana realises that she will have to find the strength to make her own decisions, even if it means going up against those she has always relied on for protection.
