  "How much longer do you think we'll have to wait?" Tilly Carpenter asked rather questioningly, with her fingers crossed and some degree of impatience.
  
  She had never been any good at waiting around for something to happen! But this was one thing that no one was able to speed up; it would simply happen when Brownie was ready, and not before… no matter what Tilly did in the poor attempt to hurry things along.
  
  "I'm not sure," Coral Johnson shrugged in answer. "But Dad thinks it will be soon. Maybe one or two more days?"
  
  "At least we're on spring break, so it doesn't really matter." Tilly sighed in exasperation. "We're going to be here at Saddlers Ranch as much as we can until then. Right, Lexie?"
  
  "Absolutely!" Lexie Howard nodded in avid agreement. "And afterwards too, don't forget."
  
  "Of course," Tilly seemed almost affronted by the suggestion that she might not have remembered. "How could I forget! Brownie's standing right in front of us, and she's grown so much that it looks like she really did swallow another horse!"
  
  "Mares always have protruding bellies when they're in foal." Coral explained, chuckling slightly.
  
  "Yes, I know. But not that much, surely?" Tilly stuttered. "She's huge!"

  Siblings Alexander and Lily did not have great expectations. Most of their friends were jetting off abroad for much-needed and much-missed holidays after the strain of the first Covid-19 lockdown. They had wanted to fly abroad too, perhaps to somewhere with a welcoming, warm climate, somewhere exciting and exotic. But the money set aside for this vacation had been swallowed up when their mum's old car had broken down.
  
  So, they were setting off instead for a 'staycation' in Brampton Sands, a location so remote that there weren't even any motorways leading to it! Of course, they were looking forward to a holiday with their mother, but could a 'staycation' in their own country really match up to a wonderful trip abroad?
  
  Ocean Times is an inspiring and heart-warming tale of friendship, fun and resilience, with a delightful measure of magic. Readers new to the main characters will be captivated by them, while old friends from Dragon Times will be enchanted once more.
