A remote island. A stormy summer. And an adventure as big as the Great Greenland shark ...

My name is Julia.

This is the story of the summer I spent living in a lighthouse.

The summer I almost lost my mum, and found a shark older than trees.

Don't worry though, that doesn't spoil the ending ...

Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope...

A beautiful and uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the environment.
