The High-and-Dry is a windswept land that is being fast lost to the ever-growing sea. The only things left are seagulls, seaweed, twins Luna and Oona, and their Grandad Mull. Luna and Oona have grown up listening to Grandad Mull's stories about the dastardly shape-shifting fishfolk who live in the sea around them and cause the waves to swallow the shore with their spells.
Storms sent by fishfolk are the reason why Grandad Mull is all that is left of their family, he says. But when Luna and Oona meet a fishfolk for real, Luna begins to question her grandfather's stories much to Oona's confusion.
A strikingly original and moving fable for our times from debut author Steven Quincey-Jones. With black and white woodcut-style illustrations.
Steve Quincey-Jones grew up in Poole, in Dorset, where he spent much of his childhood on the beach or boating around the harbor. Steve is currently teaching English at a school in Newham, living with his family in Ramsgate, Kent, where he still spends most of his time on the beach or by the harbor. Fishfolk is his debut novel.
