Media Reviews
... written with a passion which could inspire a child to become really fascinated by the sea, marine life and the damage bing inflected by man, perhaps fascinated enough to do something about it. We need books like this. The School Librarian Magazine This extraordinary life story is told in such a factual manner that coverage of the effects of man's carelessness, especially over discarded nets, is heartrending and truly appalling. It is a fine read and, particularly as it is accessible to young readers, an important book.
