About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to ask questions about their family heritage or shows a deep protective instinct for the natural world. This enchanting story follows Annie, who returns to her seaside home of Tiger Bay to care for her grandfather and discovers that her family's connection to the ocean is far more mystical than she realized. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who enjoy stories where the boundaries between reality and folklore are blurred. The book explores themes of environmental activism and the courage required to stand up for one's community, all while maintaining a tone of wonder and curiosity. It is particularly well suited for children navigating their own cultural identities, as it celebrates the strength found in ancestral roots and the importance of preserving the magic in our own backyards.
