Synopsis

Award-winning Hilary McKay brings the childhood of Victorian heroine Grace Darling to life in this heartfelt reimagining of her life up to and including the Forfarshire shipwreck. 
Grace Darling nearly drowned when she was eight years old, leaving her with a fear of boats and the sea. But it’s a fear she has to overcome as the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, living on the Longstone Rock with her parents, four brothers, three sisters and her beloved dog, Happy. 
Losses at sea bring shadows to an otherwise idyllic childhood, but everything Grace learns growing up on the coast is put to the test in 1838, when The Forfarshire is wrecked on the Harcar Rock, and she has to row out through the storm to the rescue. 
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
This bestseller is not just a story of survival, but a testament to a young girl's self-reliance and self-esteem. Set in Europe, this historical fiction is a perfect blend of adventure and family themes. 
For fans of Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Natasha Farrant (Voyage of the Sparrowhawk), Rhian Tracey (I, Spy), and Elisa Paganelli (The House with Chicken Legs).
