Children of the Sea

Set in Grenada, Children of the Sea is the story of three siblings and their adventures as they spend their summer holiday with their grandparents on Isle de Ronde. Danny, Caryn and Didi are enjoying the long summer days having fun in and around the ocean, but things turn serious when their father goes missing at sea.FeaturesBrand new addition to the popular Caribbean Writers Series by Grenadian author David Franklyn.Exciting plot full of action and adventure.Primarily aimed at boys, the novel also contains two strong female characters.The shorter page extent makes this novel ideal for more reluctant readers.Addresses some important environmental issues.‘Although Children of the Sea appears intended to be primarily a well told story, the author does raise some serious concerns the Caribbean needs to address – among them marine pollution, marine resource management, drugs trans-shipment, and declining island importance to metropolitan centres. This means the story can be enjoyed by all readers as “just a story” but more mature readers are prompted to consider the serious issues.’Sam Soyer
