Ocean Times

By Anita Mulvey

Siblings Alexander and Lily did not have great expectations. Most of their friends were jetting off abroad for much-needed and much-missed holidays after the strain of the first Covid-19 lockdown. They had wanted to fly abroad too, perhaps to somewhere with a welcoming, warm climate, somewhere exciting and exotic. But the money set aside for this vacation had been swallowed up when their mum s old car had broken down. So, they were setting off instead for a staycation in Brampton Sands, a location so remote that there weren t even any motorways leading to it Of course, they were looking forward to a holiday with their mother, but could a staycation in their own country really match up to a wonderful trip abroad? Ocean Times is an inspiring and heart-warming tale of friendship, fun and resilience, with a delightful measure of magic. Readers new to the main characters will be captivated by them, while old friends from Dragon Times will be enchanted once more.
