A gripping story about a girl, her mother and the mysterious Greenland shark. From the bestselling author and literary award winner.
Julia spends her summer holidays with her parents at the old lighthouse in Scotland. Her mother, a marine biologist, is immersed in her flagship research project on the Greenland shark. This northern shark, capable of living for several hundred years, is so rare that many consider it a myth. But if you still manage to find it, perhaps science will receive the key to extending human life.
Ten-year-old Julia also loves marine animals and wants to become a marine biologist in the future. But she is beginning to think that because of this bold, almost fantastic science project, she and her dad are about to lose mom forever.
So, Julia realizes, the only way to get her mother back is to go in search of the shark herself...
