Omschrijving

Ruth Finnegan's earlier The Black Inked Pearl led us on a romantic journey intertwined with a spiritual parable. In Pearl of Seas, the same vivid themes of sacrifice and self-discovery are revisited in a story crafted especially for younger readers, embracing the same wit, wisdom, and whimsy that eager readers have described as "a fantastic combination of prose and poetry."Stories, like song, thrive through repetition - and in Pearl of the Seas we get to visit our heroine Kate once again, this time years before the events of The Black Inked Pearl.. On the cusp of adolescence, Kate and her best friend Chris unleash the power of their childish imagination as they craft a sailing ship propelled by curiosity, innocence, and a love for adventure - aboard which they'll embark on an epic journey that will see them explore uncharted oceans, brave tumultuous weather, and come face-to-face with mysterious figures bearing timeless wisdom.

Here is another engaging and emotional tale that mirrors the powerful themes of The Black Inked Pearl, with an adventurous use of language and rhyme specifically chosen to engage and inspire children of all ages. Both deft and dreamlike, readers have compared Finnegan's story to the works of C. S. Lewis, Maurice Sendak, and, not least, to Homer's iconic Odyssey.

"Everyone should read this book." Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury.
