Trade Review'Mackay's strength is in the atmosphere of the wild northern shore line conveyed with skill and imbued with her own love and experience of the place... The plot is well organised and entertains well enough without ever being too dramatic... A wonderful gift for any child.'
-- Anna Phillips, New View.
'Janis's storytelling skills dance on the pages as she outlines the environmental damage that the sea is subjected to ... It is written with sympathy and understanding but there is no talking down. The book is perfect for intelligent 10 year olds and is a creditable addition to the Kelpies library.'
-- Lothian Life
'The gentle, imaginative prose of the story, especially the undersea world, carries you along and makes this a worthwhile read for kids and fanciful adults.'
-- Vermont Country Sampler
'There is excitement and warmth... a very positive story and will attract children who love animals and enjoy being by the sea.'
-- Sarah Mears, School Librarian
'The world of the selkie is delightfully imagined... Slightly other-worldly in tone, this books makes telling points about the need for humans to stop treating the seas as an infinitely renewable resource to be despoiled at our pleasure.'
