'They came from the sea, shrouded in cloaks and mystery'


A lonely summer looms ahead for Lana, with only Nan and Grandad for company. Still, it's better than being stuck at home, living in her perfect brother's shadow. But Carrig Cottage has magic and secrets of its own. When Lana finds a strange coat in the attic, and a book about mysterious, magical seal people - selkies - she also uncovers an incredible family secret. Lana is on the edge of a whole new, impossible world. Is this where she truly belongs?

An astonishing debut. I was blown away by how heartfelt, funny and EXCITING it is … suitable for 9+ and for big, grown adults who spent their childhood staring at the sea and dreaming of adventures. Alex Dunne whose first children’s novel, The Book of Secrets won the Eilís Dillon Award at the 2023 KPMG Children’s Book Ireland Awards. A follow-up novel, The Harp of Power, was published in 2023. Her current book is Small Magics.

An incredibly impressive debut from a writer who understands how to weave myth and magic seamlessly into the everyday. Laura Keohane has crafted a story full of heart and wonder ... invites readers to ask themselves what it truly means to be brave in the face of adventure. Gráinne O'Brien, award-winning author of Solo.
