Sharky McShark is the biggest bully in the deep blue sea. When she's around, the clownfish clear out, the flatfish flee - even the rocks get out of the way. Sharky has no friends and she doesn't want any!
But one day, a teensy wee crab tumbles into Sharky's life . . . A fantastically fishy adaptation of the classic fable The Lion and the Mouse, with a strong message about friendship and giving others a second chance.Alison Murray grew up in Lanarkshire near Glasgow and studied Textile Design at Glasgow School of Art.
