(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Cordelia has been trying to hold her family together since her mother left. When middle-sister Ione becomes convinced that their mother is actually a selkie who's returned to the bay, the girls set out (with baby Neevy) in search of a legendary selkies' island. Thomas's writing is sensory and lyrical; Cordie's determination coupled with her naiveté heightens this touching family drama's poignancy.
