Review by Kiwi author C.V. Aramakutu
This story evoked a lot of nostalgia; a kiwi child growing up on the edges of the ocean. The vivid descriptions of the bays, surf and wildlife brought many fond memories alive once more.
The obsidian stone was not only the vessel to carry the magic, it also acted as a magnet to draw people together, building special relationships during a time when people needed companionship the most.
With the world reeling from a deadly pandemic, this tiny town sheltered from the worst of the devastation read like a sanctuary. A sanctuary that desperately needed protection.
Becky is a free-spirited teen who showcases an attitude fit for success. Her love of wind-surfing and dancing on the ocean is a reflection of coastal living.
The negative environmental impact of pollution and illegal fishing is illustrated in harsh reality in this book. This is an important topic to include in middle-grade fiction.
The dolphin stuck in the net tugged at my heart strings. A far too common occurrence. Magic or not, the connection between the dolphin and Becky was extraordinary. A special life bond.
