We don’t realise until chapter 3, but this story is narrated by a 237-year-old giant tortoise, brought to England from the Galapagos islands by Charles Darwin, and if that doesn’t make you want to read it, I don’t know what will.

It stars a young boy named Billy, abandoned for the summer in the Charles Darwin Museum and describes his magical meeting with the owner of one of the objects in its collection, an ancient Inuit ivory necklace, and with the Greek explorer Pytheas. Other characters in the book include two hapless plain clothes policeman and the Shaman grandmother of the young girl whose necklace it is, the sea witch of the title.

Original, full of adventure and excitement, it may change readers’ views of museums and explorers in ways that are definitely for the good. It’s the first in a series and I’m already looking forward to the next.
