Julia and the Shark

An enthralling story about a girl, her mother, and a mysterious Greenland shark. From the bestselling author and literary award winner.

Julia spends her summer vacation with her parents at an old lighthouse in Scotland. Her mother, a marine biologist, is deeply immersed in her main research project dedicated to the Greenland shark. This northern shark, capable of living for several hundred years, is so rarely encountered that many consider it a myth. But if they manage to find it — perhaps science will gain the key to extending human life.

Ten-year-old Julia also loves marine animals and wants to become a marine biologist in the future. But she is starting to feel that because of this bold, almost fantastical scientific project, she and her dad are about to lose their mom forever.

So, Julia understands, the only way to bring her mom back is to go in search of the shark herself...
