Middle grade fantasy adventure based on traditional folklore, from an
award-winning author
On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin found out that he was
half selkie -- part human, part seal. Although he looks like a boy and
lives on land, he can breathe underwater.
When Magnus Fin discovers his initials scratched into the rocks by the
shore and finds dead seals washed up on the beach, he knows his selkie
family needs his help, and he dives down beneath the waves to find out
more.
The great seal sickness has struck and his grandmother Miranda is
dangerously ill. But Magnus Fin is sure there's another reason for their
affliction. He sets out to reveal the truth, with just his moonstone,
his last baby tooth and some seaweed from Neptune's garden for luck.
Little does he know that his best friend Tarkin, who can't swim, is
determined to join him on this perilous mission.
This is the exciting sequel to Kelpie Prize-winning Magnus Fin and the
Ocean Quest.
