Synopsis

After her brother's death, ten-year-old Isla moves from Edinburgh to the Orkney Islands with her parents. Struggling to adapt to island life, she discovers the legend of the selkies—mythical beings who are half-human, half-seal. This tale helps Isla navigate her grief, embrace her dual heritage, and find solace in her new surroundings. Jane Ray's evocative illustrations beautifully capture the island's landscape and the story's emotional depth.
