Seal Song

Andrea Spalding

Description

"No good comes from seal songs," says Finn's father. But Finn believes differently.

Finn loves to swim with the seals in a secret cove. He arrives at the cove one day and rescues a young seal tangled in netting. Finn wishes the seal could live on land. That night the seals sing. When Sheila, a mysterious girl no one has ever seen before, appears on the cannery docks, the fisher folk are uneasy. They believe the newcomer is a magical selkie, a shape changer.

Extrait

Work done, the boy hid on the cannery wharf.
“Finn, Finn,” his father called.
Finn crouched behind a barrel. He had fished with
his father since early morning. Now he wanted to swim
with the seals.
“Drat that boy!” His father tossed the last salmon
into a box and carried it inside the canning shed.
