A captivating, powerful and luminous story from a bestselling,
award-winning author about a mother, a daughter and the great
Greenland shark. Wrapped up in mesmerising illustrations and
presented as a deluxe hardback, this is a perfect gift for the
holiday season, for 9+ fans of Philip Pullman, Sally Gardner and
Frances Hardinge. 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.
