What this book is about
Sapphire and her brother Conor live on the Cornish coast when their father disappears. As Sapphire is drawn deeper into the underwater world of the Mer people, she must choose between the world she knows and the one calling to her. Dunmore's MG fantasy is lyrical and atmospheric, with genuine mythological depth.
