Book description
A powerful yound adult novel about the importance of friendship and
love for teen girls. Sea Dreamer is about relationships, especially that
of Cassie and Rana - who have been friends since they were tiny girls.
When this once strong friendship begins to disintegrate Cassie tries to
hold onto Rana, tries to hang on to the way things were. But in life
nothing ever remains the same. Then when Cassie discovers through a
school project the possibility that an ancestor who lived in the 16th
century may have been a pirate, she uses it as an anchor in the now
turbulent friendship. Cassie, who lives within the smell of the sea, is
a sea dreamer. So strongly linked are her thoughts and moods to the sea,
it's as if she was born on the ever-ebbing tide. She relates much of her
inner and outer world to the spirit of the sea. With a wonderful sense
of place - the wild, striking coastline of Otago, New Zealand - this
novel is the perfect read for young teenage girls. Elizabeth Pulford
has published many books for children - educational books, picture books
and junior fiction titles. She has also written one adult fiction book
as well as articles, poetry, short stories (for both adult and children)
in newspapers, magazines and for radio.
