Wow… The #MadDash was an incredible experience, Wow… The #MadDash was an incredible experience, waking up at 2am, and going by boat across Langebaan Lagoon under the full moon. Then hopping into the water as the moon set, and swimming through the night and into the dawn and back to #FridayIsland for breakfast. What an absolutely spectacular event… could not have loved it more!!!

I totally bought this book for the cover… Julia I totally bought this book for the cover… Julia and the Shark, it’s beautiful!!! I am all about the wild ocean and a glance at the incredible illustrations and this book was calling my name…

Written by @kiran_millwood_hargrave and illustrated by @tomdefrestonart  read more about it on the blog… #linknbio

And then I got reading, it is a story about a girl and her parents, who move to a remote island amongst the Shetland Islands, for the summer, because her dad works on lighthouses. It just so happens that her mum is a marine scientist (Yes, role model right there!!!), who is looking for a particular and extremely rare Greenland shark. 

This is a book about discovery as we become aware of her mum’s mental illness and how the family copes with it. Her mum has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, which is very vague diagnosis but we quickly realise that her highs are high and her lows are low. As Julia’s mum searches for mysterious shark, so the shark begins to enter Julia’s dream world. When her mum eventually can’t carry on her research anymore, Julia heads out on her own adventure, to fulfil her mother’s quest.
