A beloved grandfather hovers between life and death as his grandson fights to save him, in a brilliant and moving new story from one of our greatest children's writers. Grandad is the most important person in Gavin's life. He lives with Gavin, takes him fishing in the harbour, and is making him a beautiful model boat, the Selkie, as a special birthday gift. The two have a close and exclusive relationship. Then Grandad is suddenly struck down by a massive stroke and is totally paralysed. The doctors are not optimistic. But Gavin is sure that inside the helpless body his real grandfather is trapped, unable to find a way out - that somehow the Selkie is the key to save him, and that if he asks the magical half-seal, half-human selkies off the beach they may help. Gavin begins a desperate emotional journey, against all the odds, to bring his grandfather back to life.
