On an island in Victorian Scotland live Lydia and her scientist mother. Stories of an amazing sea creature capture Lydia's imagination - but her new neighbours aren't keen. It seems they don't even want to know her. Can Lydia make her first friends, and will she ever see a violet sea snail? A beautifully illustrated short story, full of heart and quiet wonder.
