The Tralls of Colum

By Gayle Torrens

The tralls of Colum have lived near the shore for millions of years and during that time Mother Ocean has supplied all their needs, but things are slowly changing because the Warming is forcing the sea creatures and the kelp to travel further south in search of cooler waters, leaving their kinships struggling to find enough food to survive.

When Emi overhears her grandfather and two of his chars making plans for them to leave their ancestral lands, she is devastated but the next morning a huge island of fresh green kelp and thousands of plump jellyfish miraculously appear offshore, and she quickly realizes this precious gift from Mother Ocean will change everything.

Emi and Jai are determined to collect as much of the unexpected bounty as they can before the sea creatures devour it all but unfortunately, their dugout is overturned by a mysterious creature. Emi is almost drowned and Jai is lost at sea, and sadly, their efforts were in vain because the kelp and jellyfish are not what they seem. They are an unknown substance that is inedible and very dangerous for all living things.

Eventually, the tralls of Colum are forced to leave their beloved tralldom and begin the trek south in search of a new home.

Could this signal the end of the Tralldom of Colum?
