Krátky popis
'Thrilling, heartfelt, and luminous' Vashti Hardy‘A stunning debut'
Jasbinder Bilan'The world-building here is so seamless it’s almost
unnoticeable' School Reading ListAn original, middle grade fantasy
debut awash with adventure. A determined heroine and a sinister
villain clash to reveal river lore in a watery world of fantastical
creatures and colossal challenges. In a time and place which might
be now, people with gills, outcast larkers, live in secret
communities.They have houseboats along the river. Concealing their
gills from land lubbers, they scour the mudbanks, trade their finds
and live off their wits. Thirteen-year-old Effra has been
supporting her brother, Fleet, alone since their beloved
grandfather died six months ago.When merciless Rivermun, a larker
gone bad, threatens Fleet, Effra's quests begins. Rivermun asks for
the impossible - he wants to overpower Mother River, to possess the
river serpent’s pearl and for age-old debts to be settled. Effra
must bargain with the imposing Mother River, dive into the
underwater parts of the city, venture deep into the Rat Queen’s
lair and confront the terrible river serpent to save not only
Fleet, but everything the larkers stand for.Luckily, she is not
alone. She befriends a sentient sewer rat and a landlubber girl
called Bow, who will help her in her quest.
