A gripping story about a girl, her mother, and a mysterious Greenland shark. From a bestselling, award-winning author.
Julia is spending her summer holidays with her parents at an old lighthouse in Scotland. Her mother, a marine biologist, is completely absorbed in her major research project on the Greenland shark. This northern shark, capable of living for several hundred years, is so rare that many consider it a myth. But if it could be found, science might just gain the key to extending human life.
Ten-year-old Julia also loves sea creatures and wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up. But she is starting to feel that, because of this bold, almost fantastical scientific project, she and her dad are about to lose her mom forever.
And so, Julia realizes, the only way to get her mom back is to go in search of the shark herself...
