Review:
Sapphire lives a normal life with her Mum, Dad and brother Conor in a house by the sea in Cornwall. But when her Dad disappears, her and her brother become the only people who believe that he is still alive and will come back to live with them in the future.
One day, Conor is sighted talking to a mysterious girl on the rocks. Who is she? Sapphire wonders. What is she? For she might well live in the sea. And if so, is that where her Dad disappeared to; the ocean?
I really enjoyed this book because it is adventurous, gripping and sounds like it could be a true story. I highly recommend it to 9-12 year olds who are looking for an exciting fiction book!
