More great reads: the best books for 7 year olds
"A collection of sea themes short stories with hints of magic and a classic folklore feel."
This collection of 18 short stories have a classic feel. Featuring perilous voyages, magical mysteries, encounters with the supernatural and a strong emphasis on the natural world. Each story is distinct in structure and style, whether it’s focusing on a young grey seal that becomes separated from her family and must find her way home, or a strange red-light emitting lighthouse that draws young Aletha to it.
This would be a great collection for readers who enjoy magical stories centred on the sea and coastal locations. I found the writing focused more on telling than showing which meant it wasn’t as easy to connect with the stories, but it was an understandable choice in the context of these shorter narratives.
Of all the stories I particularly liked the unique structure of Shore Horizons. It felt almost poetic and I liked how it moved through a collage of different perspectives, each providing a snapshot reflecting on the environment, its past and its future. In all an interesting collection of stories that would suit anyone looking for classical feeling stories with a maritime theme.
