Description
Minnow is different from the other girls in her town and there’s plenty to set her apart: the blossom of pale scars which lie beneath Minnow’s delicate ears the fact that she has an affinity with the water which leaves people speechless and that once – she is sure – in deep deep water her body began to glow like a sunken star. When her mum gets into trouble and is taken from their boat in the dead of night Minnow is alone with one instruction: sail to Reykjavik to find your grandmother she will keep you safe. Minnow has never sailed on her own before but the call of the deep is a call she’s been waiting to answer her whole young life. Perhaps a girl who is lost on land can be found in the Wild Deep. The stunning middle grade debut from Cerrie Burnell
