ANNIE LUMSDEN THE GIRL FROM THE SEA

A beautifully illustrated hardback edition of the magical story about finding your identity, set on the north-west coast of England, with gentle references to dyslexia and being different. Annie has never been like the other girls. Her mam tried sending her to school when she was small, but she couldn’t seem to make words or numbers stick. She prefers instead to be swimming in the sea, her head full of tales. She should have been a fish, her mam always tells her, then a stranger who comes to town is struck by the beauty and the wonder of her, and Annie Lumsden realizes that perhaps she really is half a creature from the sea.
