Description

WINNER OF THE 2018 WATERSTONES CHILDREN'S BOOK PRIZE FOR BEST ILLUSTRATED BOOK This surreal modern folk-tale tells the story of an adventurous young girl who must protect a peaceful living creature. Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea -- the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won't let her go ...Out there in the deepest sea lies the Black Rock: a huge, dark and spiky mass that is said to destroy any boats that come near it! Can Erin uncover the truth behind this mysterious legend?

Media Reviews

Underneath the surface, like Black Rock itself, it holds a gentle environmental message. The colour palette is stunning and the images from under the sea are dream like. A magical read. * Children's Book Ireland *
The Secret of Black Rock is a wonderful lovely story where the narrative is primarily told by the beautiful illustrations and parents will love it as much as their children do. -- Jamie McNeil * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide *
It has some brilliant illustrations, especially of the fish and the creatures that live around Black Rock. * St Helens Libraries on Twitter *
