Marina

Marina

Two brothers find a strange girl on the beach and take her home. Marina is as mute as a fish at first, then it comes bubbling out of her: she claims to be a sea princess, tells them about castles under water, cars with fins and incredible coral reefs with roller coasters. The two boys argue whether they should believe Marina or whether it is all just her fertile imagination. That's when it is enough for Marina. A fascinating picture book by award-winning illustrator Nikolaus Heidelbach with unexpected depths and a great mystery.
