Find your voice in the waves in a heartfelt and hopeful story of family, friendship, and learning to accept change from the critically-acclaimed partnership, Sarah Ann Juckes and Sharon King-Chai. Martha was raised on her nana’s stories. Even if no one else believes them, Martha knows that they’re magic.  Now those stories are helping Martha hold things together when everything around her is falling apart – out-of-towners moving into her family’s old house, her nana’s mysterious illness, and the tourists flooding the town who don’t seem to care about the sea or the animals it’s home to. But Martha has found one creature who understands – a black seal pup that seems to appear whenever Martha needs it most. Could Martha’s seal twin be the key to fixing everything that’s wrong? And most importantly of all, do the seals hold the answer to making her nana well again?   Illustrated by the award-winning Sharon King-Chai, Sarah Ann Juckes’ emotional novel follows a young girl trying to protect her family and her community, who must learn that not all changes are bad.
