Pen&Quill Read asked this question about Aquamarine (Water Tales, #1):

I can't believe I'm the first one to ask this but how close is the book to the movie?

1. the beach club being the hang out place
2. Claire & Hailey are BFFs
3. an impending move (Claire is moving to Florida in the book, but Hailey is moving to Australia in the movie)
4. Raymond works at the beach, and is dreamy (in the movie he’s a lifeguard)
5. Aquamarine washes up and is in love with Raymond.
The book is cute for kids, and an interesting read to compare, but by far the movie is way better and more in-depth.(less)
