Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest

£7.99

A sound like thunder echoed through the palace.
The walls shook with the vibration of the groan. The lobsters shuddered. The crabs quaked. The sharks shivered. The killer whales glided forward menacingly like submarines. The king was coming in their trail …

On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin
is charged with an incredible mission. Magnus
discovers that he is half selkie — part human, part seal — and his selkie family urgently need his help.

Can Magnus save them from the evil tyrant who is threatening all the ocean’s creatures?

'...a lovely children's book and [it] is the perfect holiday read -- as my ten year old son and I discovered. He was very taken by it and if you have a child around that age I can recommend it.'
