Simey the Peedie Selkie
The Island No One Could See
A hidden island. A forbidden cliff. A sea full of fins. When a storm tears the ground away, Simey is tossed into the guardians’ water and washed ashore on North Ronaldsay. To find his way home, he must learn to trust Isla — an auld sheep with little patience for nonsense.
