Product Description
Review
'This book is filled with the importance of friendship and family values. It fires anyone's imagination and unlocks the mysteries of the sea. Older primary and younger secondary boys will love this book and identify strongly with Magnus Fin as he sets out on an amazing soul searching journey' -- The School Library Association, Spring 2010 'Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest is a lovely children's book and is the perfect holiday read -- as my ten year old son and I discovered. He was very taken by it and if you have a child around that age I can recommend it. Magnus Fin could become a hero with many more adventures under his belt if Janis Mackay keeps her storytelling stream flowing.' -- Anna Phillips, New View, Spring 2010 'Janis Mackay, now living in Caithness, has crafted an outstanding first novel for all ages in Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest. Clearly inspired by the Selkie tales and the seascape beyond her window, Janis has deservedly won the Kelpies Prize for this book.' -- Blethers , Scottish Storytelling Centre and Network 'I genuinely couldn't put it down, it's a really engaging adventure story with an environmental theme ... Such an exciting adventure and such lovely writing, always in tune with the natural world.' -- Craftly Green Poet blog
Product Description
There has always been something unusual about Magnus Fin, a school misfit. On his eleventh birthday Magnus throws a message in a bottle out to sea, wishing for a best friend and to be more brave - and he gets a lot more than he bargained for. Magnus discovers that he is half selkie - part seal, part human - and his selkie family urgently need his help. Can Magnus save his new-found family from the evil force threatening all the ocean's creatures? And will he find the friend he has always dreamed of? The winner of the Kelpies Prize 2009.

Format:Paperback
This is definately Scotland's answer to Harry Potter. Wonderfully written. I could see the sea, hear the breakers crashing on the rocks and even taste the salt in the air! I bought it for my grandchildren, but enjoyed it so much myself! I look forward to many more adventures of Mangus and his friends.

I bought this book for my grandchild Brooke who is 9 years old. I read it myself and I thought it was a fantastic fairytale. Great imagination and hope to read a sequel soon!
