Recenzii

'This book is filled with the importance of friendship and family values. It fires anyone's imagination and unlocks the mysteries of the sea. Older primary and younger secondary boys will love this book and identify strongly with Magnus Fin as he sets out on an amazing soul searching journey' -- The School Library Association, Spring 2010 'Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest is a lovely children's book and is the perfect holiday read -- as my ten year old son and I discovered. He was very taken by it and if you have a child around that age I can recommend it. Magnus Fin could become a hero with many more adventures under his belt if Janis Mackay keeps her storytelling stream flowing.' -- Anna Phillips, New View, Spring 2010 'Janis Mackay, now living in Caithness, has crafted an outstanding first novel for all ages in Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest. Clearly inspired by the Selkie tales and the seascape beyond her window, Janis has deservedly won the Kelpies Prize for this book.' -- Blethers , Scottish Storytelling Centre and Network 'I genuinely couldn't put it down, it's a really engaging adventure story with an environmental theme ... Such an exciting adventure and such lovely writing, always in tune with the natural world.' -- Craftly Green Poet blog
