The Girl with the Shark's Teeth - reviewed by Lily

• Minnow is different from the other girls in her town and there's plenty to set her apart: the blossom of pale scars which lie beneath Minnow's delicate ears, the fact that she has an affinity with the water which leaves people speechless, and that once - she is sure - in deep, deep water, her body began to glow like a sunken star.
  When her mum gets into trouble and is taken from their boat in the dead of night, Minnow is alone with one instruction: sail to Reykjavik to find your grandmother, she will keep you safe. Minnow has never sailed on her own before, but the call of the deep is a call she's been waiting to answer her whole young life.
  Perhaps a girl who is lost on land can be found in the Wild Deep.
  The stunning middle grade debut from Cerrie Burnell

Minnow is a special young girl and her mother has been taken prisoner by the three sea hunters. She's on a mission; Minnow needs to travel through the Wild Deep, with her friend Rafe, to save her mama. I like Cerrie's use of language because it paints a picture of the characters in my mind. If you love adventure, this is the book for you! I would recommend this fabulous book to children who have a fascination with the ocean. (Lily, aged 9)
