Storm Child

Reviews / Votes

I love an adventure story anchored in reality and here it's the setting that really sings. Both locations are vividly rendered, with the author scratching beyond the postcard images of Cornwall and Fiji to give a saltlick of real life beyond the coves and coconut palms. -- Lucy Bannerman, Book of the Week * The Times * Ele Fountain's latest insightful look at the inner life of kids undergoing unwanted change. Culture shocks and hardships are balanced by the unexpected kindness of strangers and some terrific, show-not-tell writing * Guardian * It's a beautiful, heartfelt book, with an important story at its core. -- Elizabeth Laird A powerful story vividly told with nature and friendship at its heart - I was swept away by Maya's adventure. -- Jasbinder Bilan An absorbing read * The Times * A beautifully written page-turner of a novel -- Sarah Crossan This was such a page-turner of a story. I was sucked in right from the start and tossed around like a boat in a storm as the plot twisted and turned * Mini Travellers * It is an amazing book and if you are interested in surfing or the sea this book will definitely appeal to you -- Young Reader Review * Books Up North * Another compelling read which gives the reader much to think about and want to discuss * Books For Keeps *
