Where the tide keeps its promises, the lighthouse never sleeps... and one very thoughtful otter is always mending something.
Meet Ossian Saltwhisker, a quiet fisherman with careful paws and a heart as steady as the sea. Each day he casts his nets, brews strong tea, and keeps a watchful eye on the harbour he loves.
Life by the shore is rarely dull.
There's Gulliver, the gloriously confident seagull who is certain he was born for greatness (and possibly snacks). There's Murdo Blubbertum, the big-hearted seal whose splashes are enormous and whose feelings are even bigger. Clementine "Clammy" Crabble keeps strict order with one claw in a sling. Harbour Master Bark Stroud ensures rules are followed. And Mr Wicklow in the lighthouse keeps the steady beam that guides them all home.
Across twelve gentle, laugh-out-loud adventures, you'll discover:
The day the sea seems to vanish
A mysteriously singing buoy
A storm that tests the whole harbour
A very unusual fisherman's hat
A daring fish theft investigation
The glow of the magical Tide Festival
Full of warmth, humour, friendship and soft seaside charm, Ossian Saltwhisker of Tanglewick Bay is a comforting collection about community, kindness, and the quiet courage found in everyday life.
Perfect for readers aged 7-11 who love animals, the sea, and stories that feel like a warm lantern on a windy night.
