A tale of friendship and an extraordinary sea creature.
On an island in Victorian Scotland live Lydia and her scientist mother. Stories of an amazing sea creature capture Lydia's imagination - but her new neighbours aren't keen. It seems they don't even want to know her. Can Lydia make her first friends, and will she ever see a violet sea snail? A beautifully illustrated short story, full of heart and quiet wonder.

Readerful: Inspiring Children to Read More
Readerful is a specially designed reading library that motivates children aged 4-11 to develop a lifelong love of reading. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books across three key collections:
Books for Sharing: Picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions
Independent Library: Fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently
Rise: Fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently.
How Readerful works:
• Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
• Encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise. You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary and develop their knowledge of the world around them.
This is Book 28 in the Readerful Books for Sharing Series. See all Readerful Books for Sharing books here.
