Book excerpt: Here is a story that brings you into an enchanted world deep within the ocean and shares the sea's greatest secret, the Sea Angel. Sea angels are magical creatures who protect other small sea creatures from dangers such as tidal waves, submarines, oil slicks, and fishing nets. As the story unfolds, a sea angel is stolen from the sea by a greedy diver seeking treasure. Will true friendship and a relentless search save the sea's greatest secret? Laced with fun facts about the ocean's flora and fauna, Sea Angel transports the reader through kelp and gorgonian forests, to an underwater mountain, and a haunted sea of lost ships. Sea Angel is an entertaining and informative read for ages 7 to 11. "Vivid visceral descriptions bring the watery atmosphere to life - Dark green and brown sargassum floated in the water and clung to the rocks below...It felt so dense and close in this sea. Nothing really stood still, but nothing really moved much either.' From the Kelp Forest to the Sargasso Sea, no setting is predictable, and like a marine version of Narnia, the characters are at once familiar and otherworldly. There is also a sweet morality tale about sisterly love tucked inside this highly imaginative narrative. A story that sparkles like its protagonist's gossamer transparent wings." - Kirkus Review, Kirkus Discoveries
