Clare Weze’s debut The Lightning Catcher was a  LoveReading4Kids pick, a fresh and original story with a charm all of its own. Her new story, The Storm Swimmer, is another intoxicating mix of the mundane and the truly magical, and fizzes with the same energy.

Ginika’s parents have money troubles and when they are evicted from their home, take her to live with her grandparents in their seaside boarding house. Normally a treat, she is lonely and misses her home, her friends, even her beloved view of the Docklands Light Railway. Lying on the tideline gazing at the sea, her eye is caught by a boy, but a boy like no other – his hair and skin gleam green-grey, and he lives in the waves.

A friendship develops, Ginika and Peri sharing moments of ordinary but still exhilarating joy, exploring the town and its funfair. When life on land proves damaging to Peri though, can Ginika keep him safe and still a secret? This is a story to startle readers, bubbling with glee one moment, sinking to the depths the next, and it is impossible not to be swept away with Ginika and Peri. One of the most unusual and original books of the year.
