Book Review: The Girl With The Shark’s Teeth

I am soul and song of water
I am fin and bone of star
I was dreamed from waves and moonlight
And my heart has swum so far

I am cut from myth and marvel
I am scale and tooth and sea
I’ll protect our ocean mysteries
If you’ll only set me free

The Girl With The Shark’s Teeth by Cerrie Burnell

Is a magical mystery story

A tale of adventure

With a cast of mythical characters

From a richly imagined and gloriously written

Under sea world

I have fallen head over heels in love with this wonderful fairytale

Written by Cerrie for her daughter

This wonderful book was written because Cerrie believes

As do I

As we all should

That every child should see and read mermaids, pirates and princesses

In their own image

To brighten their imagination

And put them in the heart of the story

The Girl With The Shark’s Teeth

Is the story of Minnow and Mercy

A bright-eyed, brown-skinned girl with shark’s teeth

And her pirate mother navigating a sea of dark storms and strange magic

Minnow’s mother is taken by three men

Minnow needs to find her and save her

On the way she meets Raife

A green eyed boy of wonder

Who becomes her closest friend

Together they set sail for The Wild Deep

An enchanted ocean that they must cross

To find Mercy, Minnow’s mother

This is a voyage of self discovery

As a dangerous journey to a hidden world

Where fairytales become reality

Shows Minnow the wonder of her magical dual heritage

This is a story of moonlit maps, sea souls and light fins

Sharks, orcas, Merfins, bird-boys

Stories, songs and lullabies

Cerrie has created a world for us all to escape to

A magical story of friendship, family, trust, betrayal and courage

A story that shows us all the possibility of magic beneath the waves

Are you ready to dive into The Wild Deep?

You will not regret it x
