Minnow is different from the other girls in her town, and there's plenty to set her apart: the blossom of pale scars beneath her delicate ears, her affinity with the water that leaves people speechless, and the fact that once—she is sure—in deep, deep water, her body began to glow like a sunken star. When her mum gets into trouble and is taken from their boat in the dead of night, Minnow is left alone with one instruction: sail to Reykjavik to find your grandmother, she will keep you safe. Minnow has never sailed on her own before, but the call of the deep is a call she's been waiting to answer her whole young life. Perhaps a girl who is lost on land can be found in the Wild Deep. This is the stunning middle grade debut from Cerrie Burnell.
