Beschreibung
In Brinepoint, a seaside city where invention and kindness keep everyone warm and well-fed, two sisters grow up under the watchful eye of their mother, the ingenious Sea Potato Mam.
Redhair, bold and stubborn, is entrusted with a magic key that brings fresh water to the city. Daffodil Friend, practical and gentle, cares for the magic needle that sews birthday blazers for every child.
When their mother departs on a journey, the girls must uphold Brinepoint's cherished traditions-never using stemless flowers, never pouring seawater, never breaking the rules that keep their world safe.
But when a bitter outsider sabotages the summer festival, Redhair and Daffodil Friend are forced to make impossible choices. A single mistake shatters the city's harmony, plunging Brinepoint into years of hardship and testing the sisters' bond.
As the city's magic fades and hope grows thin, Redhair must find the courage to face her own regrets-and discover whether what was broken can ever truly be restored.
A luminous fairy tale of responsibility, forgiveness, and the risks of standing by, Redhair and Daffodil Friend invites readers into a richly imagined world where even the smallest act can change everything.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this carefully crafted chapter book is designed as a high-quality gift edition-perfect for shared reading or independent readers beginning their journey into longer stories.
Part of the expanding Brinepoint world, readers can also enjoy The Brinepoint Colouring Book, a creative companion inspired by this story, and Pink Granite, a deeper exploration of the city's origins and histories, finalist in the The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.

"It's a delightful tale which incorporates important life lessons to help young readers navigate their own lives."
"A real page-turner... a morality tale in the fairy tale tradition, with infectious humour."
