The Coral Kingdom
Adventures of a Sea Child
In a vibrant underwater world, 10-year-old Marina is the sole human resident of the Coral Kingdom, a vast and magical reef teeming with sea life. Orphaned as a baby and rescued by a pod of dolphins, Marina has grown up learning the ways of the ocean, able to communicate with its creatures and breathe underwater through a mysterious pearl necklace gifted to her by the ancient Sea Witch.
Marina's idyllic life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers an ominous dark patch spreading across the reef, killing everything in its path. The Sea Witch reveals that this is the work of the Shadow Tide, an ancient evil awakening from the ocean's depths, threatening to engulf not just the Coral Kingdom but the entire world's oceans.
To save her home, Marina must embark on a perilous quest to find the three Sacred Shells of Balance, hidden in the most dangerous parts of the sea. Accompanied by her best friends - Finn, a mischievous octopus, and Kora, a wise sea turtle - Marina faces treacherous underwater volcanoes, navigates through a maze of shipwrecks, and outwits the cunning creatures of the deep.
As Marina's journey progresses, she uncovers the truth about her own mysterious origins and her unexpected connection to both the Sea Witch and the Shadow Tide. She learns that her human nature, once seen as a weakness in the underwater realm, may be the key to saving it.
In a heart-pounding climax, Marina must confront the source of the Shadow Tide in the darkest trench of the ocean. Here, she faces a choice that will determine not only the fate of the Coral Kingdom but also her place between the human and marine worlds.
With themes of environmental conservation, self-discovery, and the power of friendship, "The Coral Kingdom" takes readers on a magical underwater adventure.

After studying English Literature at the University of Oxford, she worked as a journalist before a trip to New Zealand's pristine coastlines sparked her fascination with marine life and environmental conservation.

"The Coral Kingdom is pure magic! My 9-year-old and I read it together, and we were both completely hooked from the first page. Marina's journey is full of excitement, danger, and heart, with super likable characters like Finn the octopus and Kora the sea turtle (my daughter's favorite).
What I loved most was how the story projects an important message about protecting the ocean. It opened up so many great conversations with my daughter about how we can help keep our planet healthy.
If you're looking for a book that's as enchanting as it is meaningful, this is it. We can't wait to see what Karter Khloe writes next!"
