An enchanting, charming story of bravery on the ice-tipped ocean,
with stunning art by Anuska Allepuz on every page.
Curious, pin-bright Oona Britt dreams of setting sail with her ship's
captain father for a life of excitement on the wild waves. She
has read stories of a magical creature - the Nardoo - who swims
through the stars at night, and stows away on whaling boat the
Plucky Leopard for an adventure full of myths and marvel among the
ice-caps.
Bestselling author Kiran Millwood Hargrave on Matilda's first
book, The Boy, the Bird and the Coffin Maker: "This luminous tale
of loss, love and finding family is threaded through with the power
of storytelling, and a touch of magic."
