A fin-tastic tale of friendship and adventure, perfect
for fans of Lemony Snicket and Edward Scissorhands!
'Charming and delightful ... a whimsical adventure story stuffed
to the flippers with fish puns and fun' SAM SEDGMAN
'I loved this story of fish, friendship and finding yourself.'
A.F. STEADMAN
'The story has been polished like a pebble in a gift shop
… so charming and quirky is our voyage' THE TIMES
Marina lives in Merlington, a fish-obsessed seaside town.
Unfortunately, she doesn't care for fish; she loves telling stories.
Marina finds her best story yet when she explores
the ruined, haunted pier: a boy called William with a head of tentacles
and crab claws for hands. He has lived on the pier all his
life, cared for by a fisherman who has since disappeared and who
warned him always to remain hidden.
Together, the pair
resolve to unravel the mystery of his past – but danger
isn't far away ...
The debut novel by Richard Pickard, a fresh new voice
in children's fiction and winner of the Times/Chicken House Chairman's
Choice Award 2019.
A funny, dark, core middle-grade story touching on themes
of lies, storytelling, secrets, acceptance and, of course, fish!
Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of
Unfortunate Events and Edward Scissorhands!
