WHERE THE TIDE LINES LEAD
LITTLE TIGER PRESS, 2026
Elio's family owns a successful holiday resort on a Spanish island, but when multiple teenagers go missing in suspicious circumstances, bookings across the town dry up. Then Elio witnesses something strange - the sea parting for a teenage girl, before carefully enveloping her.
Unsurprisingly, no one on the island believes Elio. But a few days later, Sam, a British tourist, comes to find him. Her twin sister Jess is one of the missing teens, and Sam thinks Elio's story could be true.
As they investigate, they too are pulled into the water and discover an underwater city ruled by selkie-like creatures. The beings are in desperate need of Elio and Sam's help, but why have they been taking teenagers, and can they really be trusted?
“A beguiling and mysterious fantasy, Where the Tide Lines Lead is an engrossing slow-burn read for imaginative 10+ year olds.” - School Reading List
