Some people might find the fishy encounters a little too strange, and I think others might be frustrated that in the end, without giving too much away, the fishy tale isn't completely explained. I found the fish both amusing and a little bit terrifying. I'm not a good swimmer, and swimming in the sea scares me, so as Billy goes out further and further, for longer and longer with the fish I did feel very concerned for him. As Billy is enticed into the fishy life, I also felt myself completely caught up in the story. It has a great pace, and is extremely readable. Perfect for confident readers around eight years old and through to early teens, this is a really wonderful, magical story and I look forward to seeing what else Chloe Daykin will write.
Further reading suggestion: You might also enjoy reading [[Skellig by David Almond]] or [[A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness]]. We also liked Daykin's [[Fire Girl, Forest Boy by Chloe Daykin|Fire Girl, Forest Boy]].
