David Almond's glowing prose conjures a magical world, building a
picture of a special girl who is very much a creature of the sea.
[…] Beatrice Alemagna's beautiful illustrations complement the text
perfectly, evoking the sea, the shore, both the everyday and the
mysterious: "Annie Lumsden, seal girl, fish girl, dolphin girl...”.
The story and the pictures will haunt the reader long after the
covers of the book are closed.
*The School Librarian*
