From the bestselling author of Darwin's Dragons
comes a high-stakes aquatic adventure, perfect for fans of The
Murderer's Ape
!

England, 1893, and aquarium fever is at its height.

Twelve-year-old Vinnie Fyfe works in the tea-shop at Brighton
aquarium, and waits for her milliner mother to return from Paris.

The arrival of a giant octopus changes her life for ever. Discovering
a talent for art, Vinnie begins to draw the extraordinary
beast.

She soon realises she can communicate with the octopus through
colour and – as a gripping mystery begins to unfold –
discovers what true courage really means ...

  • The second middle-grade historical adventure by critically
    acclaimed Lindsay Galvin, author of Darwin's Dragons
  • A gripping Victorian mystery with a touching connection
    between a young girl and an octopus at its heart
  • Strong STEM and natural history themes with an underwater
    twist
  • Effortlessly blends exciting adventure with a rip-roaring
    historical mystery and non-fiction elements
PRAISE FOR DARWIN'S DRAGONS:

'A striking and original adventure ... just the sort of story
I love.'
EMMA CARROLL

'WHAT a voyage! [Darwin's Dragons] is everything
you hope it will be ...'
LUCY STRANGE
