Mia’s grandad has vanished and nobody knows why. When Mia and her mum go to support her grandma, Mia makes friends with local girl, Dee. But why does Dee seem so out of reach? Why does she claim to be facing violent storms when Mia sees only sunny skies?
And can Mia solve the mystery and find her grandad before time and tide forever wash away his future?

a gripping read, an atmospheric adventure
Tightly plotted and ... fast-paced, carrying you along to a denouement which satisfyingly ties together the narrative strands
Tempestuous. Intriguing.
Although it has magical elements, this first and foremost a story about friendship and families
Another gripping novel by children's author Liz Kessler
