<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in an exquisitely crafted world of Celtic lore, this middle-grade debut from the acclaimed author of "Radiant Darkness" follows a young selkie searching for the one magical link that will mean he truly belongs to his selkie clan.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Winner of the Oregon Spirit Book Award</strong></p><p><strong>Does he belong to the land or to the sea?</strong></p><p>Readers who loved Kelly Barnhill's <em>The Girl Who Drank the Moon</em> and Pam Muñoz Ryan's <em>Echo</em> will be transported to the place where the water and land meet in this exquisitely crafted coming-of-age tale about a selkie boy.</p><p>Aran has never truly fit in with his selkie clan. He was born in his human form, without a pelt to transform him into a sleek, strong seal. Each day he waits, left behind while his selkie family explores the deep ocean. What if his pelt never comes? Does the Moon even see him? Is he putting his clan at risk?</p><p>When his mother undertakes a journey to the far north to seek help, Aran is left in the care of a reclusive human woman on remote Spindle Island. Life on land is full of more wonders--and more dangers--than Aran could have ever imagined. Soon Aran will be forced to decide: will he fight for his place on land, or return to his home in the sea?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A half-human, half-selkie boy searches for a way to belong. ...Told from Aran's first-person point of view, the story goes smoothly...[a] well-conceived story."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Whitman builds a beautiful slow burn with her evocative middle-grade debut. ...the many layers make for a satisfying read. A contemplative tale about the yearning to belong."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Whitman keeps the suspense high and delivers a satisfying conclusion. A wonderful selection for readers ready to dip their toes into variations on myths and legends without the mayhem and adult themes that often accompany the original tales."--School Library Journal<br>
