Enthralling Cerulean

Twelve-year old Narahit Mirana Asarizian came from a strict and apathetic Indian and Armenian family living on an isolated plot in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. She was a mute for the majority of her preteenhood, had no friends but the company of her two sisters Noor and Mare, lacked energy and extroversion, and was always the quietest and shyest kid in class. Teachers and students lost their patience with her, she wasn't up-to-date on the latest trends (in fact, she didn't know that trends existed), and she never had the support of her parents for anything as simple and commonplace as going down the shore for summer...
It wasn't until the bubbly, energetic, and all-around vibrant Cove family moved in when Narahit finally woke up from her social and emotional coma...

Olivia, the Coves' thirteen-year old daughter and only child, instantly befriended Narahit while still being cordial with her sisters. From there, she opened Narahit's eyes to a world beyond seclusion and monotony; art, poetry, self-expression, avid book-reading, and going on vacation. More specifically, to Ocean City, New Jersey. Blown away by stories of Olivia's experience visiting, both the Asarizian and Cove families put their heads together and decide to go down for four days.

As if Narahit wasn't entranced enough by Olivia's descriptions of what to expect, she was both transfixed AND transformed beyond belief. Moreover, she began to practically speak Shakespearean, change her look from blandness into something more bewitching and free-spirited, her energy was through the roof, and she developed the belief that there is a sort of magic lingering in everyday life, even setting out to find it!
