When Marina discovers a boy with a head of tentacles and crab claws for hands, she resolves to help him unravel the mystery of his past. . .

Marina lives in Merlington, a fish-obsessed seaside town. Unfortunately, she doesn't care for fish; she loves telling stories.

Marina finds her best story yet when she explores the ruined, haunted pier: a boy called William with a head of tentacles and crab claws for hands. He has lived on the pier all his life, cared for by a fisherman who has since disappeared and who warned him always to remain hidden.

Together, the pair resolve to unravel the mystery of his past – but danger isn't far away. . .

‘Charming and delightful ... a whimsical adventure story stuffed to the flippers with fish puns and fun.’ Sam Sedgman, co-author of the Adventures on Trains series

'The story has been polished like a pebble in a gift shop … so charming and quirky is our voyage' The Times

'Crammed to the gills with everything I want in a middle-grade book.' Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha & the Spirit Bird

'Full of heart, adventure, and wordplay.' Waterstones

'Packed with fishy puns and a truly awful villain.' Alastair Chisholm, author of Orion Lost

'An affecting, engaging study of the pleasures and pitfalls of outsiderdom.' Financial Times
