Summary

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 to tell 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 lurks among the fishmongers....

Delightful fishy fun!

Great performance that brought this wonderful tale to life. If you have children that enjoy Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket I have no doubt that they’d love this adventure too.
