On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin found out that he is
half selkie -- part human, part seal. Although he looks like a boy
and lives on land, he can breathe underwater. When a rusty metal
chest is flung ashore in a storm, Magnus Fin decides to
investigate. But he injures his hand on the strange box, and his
sealskin starts to show through. His teacher realises that there's
something very unusual about Magnus Fin -- and rumours start to
spread. Deep in the ocean, the great sea god Neptune has problems
of his own. The treasures of wisdom have been stolen, and his
memory and powers are fading fast. Could his missing treasure be
inside the chest that's been washed ashore? Magnus Fin is the only
one who can find out and restore order under the sea. But a young
journalist is investigating the rumours about 'fish people'. Can
Magnus Fin complete his mission before the selkie secret is
revealed and his selkie family are forced to leave the bay forever?
Janis Mackay also wrote the Kelpies Prize-winning Magnus Fin and
the Ocean Quest, and Magnus Fin and the Moonlight Mission. This is
the third book in the series.
