Description

A spellbinding and poignant new adventure from Susanna Bailey, the critically acclaimed author of Snow Foal.

Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and Hannah Gold
Haunting and lovely Anthony McGowan

Jonah is Rios big brother. Its his job. It always has been. Especially when Mam does one of her disappearing acts, like now. Her names Marina, which means from the sea. And just like the sea: she changes with the wind. She comes, she goes.
The sea was there the last time Jonah and Rio saw her. The Whitby Sea. And it wasnt in a good mood. No-one has seen Mam since that day and the social workers say . . . shes not coming back this time.
