When I first saw the cover of this title it evoked many happy memories of beach holidays and of building sandcastles. August is the perfect time of year for such happy times and this story is so cleverly yet simply told that every child or adult reading it will be transported into an amazing magical seaside adventure coupled with some wonderfully detailed and colourful illustrations. A perfect addition to this summer's holiday.
Jack loves building sandcastles more than anything in the world. But he can't stop the sea from stealing them away. Then one day he finds a shell with magical powers, and makes a wish to be king of his own sandcastle.

In no time he finds himself in the middle of an amazing adventure. But is his new power greater than the power of the sea? This magical tale from M.P.
Robertson draws the reader into Jack's amazing adventure of wishes, sandcastles, shells, mermaids and floods through the truly magnificent, full-colour illustrations. A popular read in schools especially in summer and a great book for boys, this atmospheric adventure shows us the power of our imagination and dreams.
Mark (M.P) Robertson was born in Parsons Green, London in 1965.
At an early age he moved to a dormitory town where he did his best to sleep through most of his education.
He narrowly managed to acquire the minimum number of 'O' levels to study graphic design at Hounslow Borough College.
After three years he left disillusioned, took a year to ponder his own navel, then returned to take a degree in illustration at Kingston polytechnic.
After leaving in 1988 he was amazed to find people willing to pay him money to do what he enjoyed. He has been capitalizing on this ever since.
His first picture book Seven Ways to Catch the Moon was published in 1999.
He currently lives in Bradford on Avon, near Bath, with his partner Sophy Williams (Also an illustrator) and two boys. He works in his garden shed where he worries about losing his hair.
Jack loves building sandcastles more than anything in the world. But he can't stop the sea from stealing them away.
