Julia and the Shark: An enthralling, uplifting adventure story from the creators of LEILA AND THE BLUE FOX
Autor Kiran Millwood Hargrave Ilustrat de Tom de Frestonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2022 – vârsta până la 11 ani
The shark was beneath my bed, growing large as the room, large as the lighthouse, rising from unfathomable depths until it ripped the whole island from its roots. The bed was a boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled me so far out to sea I was only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying star in an unending sky...
Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope...
A beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the environment.

Captivating
A tale of courage, understanding and compassion
A triumph
Illustrated with dreamlike fluency
Beautifully written, sensitive exploration of mental illness, fear and families
A truly beautiful book, with text and illustrations in perfect harmony. A book to treasure!
Julia and the Shark is deep, beautiful and true. The art shines and the writing soars. A classic from cover to cover.
There are no wasted words in this book. Like a seashell, or a flying bird, it is uncluttered and vital. The illustrations, by Tom de Freston, are mesmerising. I loved it.
Tom de Freston's stunning illustrations perfectly complement the poetry of Kiran Millwood Hargrave's story
A rich, immersive and wondrous journey, through deep darkness to hope and light
What a gorgeous book - calm, funny, heartfelt, wise, full of the quiet and force of the sea
I fell in love with the tale itself, the setting (I do love a lighthouse!), the characters and the little details - it's a beautiful, forceful storm of a book
INCREDIBLE. Poignant and lyrical and beautiful, it's my favourite of Kiran's books so far and that is saying something. Tom's stunning artwork just brings it to a whole other level
Truly extraordinary. Julia and the Shark is contemporary MG at its best but with a hint of the fantastic. It is the kind of book that you will want to have on your shelves and treasure
A beautifully written, moving exploration of family, friendship and mental health, with exquisite illustrations by de Freston
Such rich and vivid prose ... with beautiful illustrations by Tom de Freston
This beautifully illustrated book proves that picture books are not only for the youngest readers. The black and white sketches are deliberately highlighted with yellow accents that light up the pages in some places, and delicate tracing paper inserts make images shift when you turn them, emphasising the lurking shark. This is a powerful story of love, family and fighting to keep your head above water.
