Anne Faundez, BOOKS FOR KEEPS
'Light-hearted and exciting, with a straight-forward plot and happy conclusion... the book's strength lies in the rich, descriptive passages, unusual in a story for this age group, which conjure a vast watery world governed by violent forces and inhabited by shadowy creatures.'
