I think I have found my favourite book of the year... Five of the biggest, fattest stars from us. This is a book I will never forget * Mini Travellers * A warmhearted tale grounded in healing relationships and a love of nature * Kirkus * The wonderful voice of Blue the fish had me enraptured from the very first sentence!... Especially recommend for lovers of Blueback by Tim Winton and The Lost Whale by Hannah Gold -- Lui Sit, author of Land of the Last Wildcat A warmhearted tale grounded in healing relationships and a love of nature * Kirkus * The book would make an excellent class story, full of suspense and adventure * Through the Bookshelf * A joyous romp of a novel, as energetic and unpredictable as the sea itself * Books For Keeps * Human and inhuman voices weave well together, and Cassie's individuality stays strong alongside her insecurity * Armadillo * A heartfelt read interspersed with humour and honesty * My Shelves Are Full * I've never been so invested in a fish-out-of-water tale. Absorbing, fun, and wonderfully unique -- Terry Lynn Johnson, author of Sled Dog School This charming middle-grade novel had me hooked from the very first page -- Olivia Wakeford, author of My Dog A memorable and compelling adventure about facing long-buried fears while standing up to protect an unusual creature... A treasure of a story! -- Lynne Kelly, author of Song For a Whale A pitch-perfect middle grade. Funny, adventurous, and full of humanity -- Gae Polisner, author of Consider the Octopus This middle-grade novel offers readers excitement, empathy, and a gentle reminder that the greatest treasures are often the ones we protect rather than possess * katys_book_shelf *
