beautiful and true. The art shines and the writing soars - a
classic from cover to cover' Eoin Colfer 'A rich, immersive and
wondrous journey, through deep darkness to hope and light' Sophie
Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs The shark was
beneath my bed, growing large as the room, large as the lighthouse,
rising from unfathomable depths until it ripped the whole island
from its roots. The bed was a boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled
me so far out to sea I was only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying
star in an unending sky... Julia has followed her mum and dad to
live on a remote island for the summer - her dad, for work; her
mother, on a determined mission to find the elusive Greenland
shark. But when her mother's obsession threatens to submerge them
all, Julia finds herself on an adventure with dark depths and a
lighthouse full of hope... A beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story
about a mother, a daughter, and love - with timely themes of the
importance of science and the environment.
