This is an exceptionally illustrated modern folk-tale […] You will love Erin and her large heart, courage, sense of adventure, and ability to stand up for what she believes in! I highly recommend everyone to read this book, either for yourself, for your kids, or have your kids read it. The gentle environmental message takes on a kind of magic in Todd-Stanton’s pictures of Erin suspended in the ocean among incandescent jellyfish or facing down a monstrous, weaponised fishing fleet in the moonlight. My daughter really liked it and said she was so glad I bought it anyway because she loved the story, illustrations and sea creatures.The Vocabu-Library resource from Vocabulary Ninja is a comprehensive vocabulary resource designed to unpick and explain the vocabulary found within classic and modern children’s literature. Erin and her mother (who fishes for a living) live in a small village haunted by the legend of Black Rock, a shipkiller, that is never seen ahead of time.
