When Corrine picks up a shell on the beach, she doesn't expect to see a tiny girl inside it.

  • A heart-warming tale about a family of miniature people cast adrift in the human world.
  • Shades of The Borrowers in a coastal seaside setting.
  • Themes of belonging, identity, environment and activism, wrapped up in a sunny adventure and treasure hunt.
