HOW TO SAIL TO SOMEWHERE
A story of lost and found, of friendship, family, hope and the power of the ocean, for middle-grade readers who love a mystery.
'Emotionally and structurally satisfying, its evocative, elegiac tone balanced by tidy prose that keeps the story grounded . . . It also conjures vibes of older classics such as Lucy M. Boston's Green Knowe series'
