A Message to the Sea
Alex Shearer
There’s no telling who might write back . . .
It’s been a year since Tom Pellow’s dad was lost at sea. He was a sailor and Tom also finds himself drawn to the vast ocean; it holds so many possibilities, dangers and secrets. After hearing a song on the radio, Tom decides to write a message in a bottle, and throw it out into the sea. To ‘cast his bread upon the waters’. He doesn’t really expect to hear back, but Tom keeps writing anyway, sending messages out on the tide and searching the waves for a reply.
One day he finds one. It’s a letter that seems to be from a ghost, deep down in Davy Jones’s Locker – and the writer has a shocking answer to Tom’s question.
But if Tom’s dad didn’t perish at sea, where is he?
A charming and beautifully written story about grief, hope and miracles.

This is quite a book.It has a wonderful backstory and it made me feel something.This boy loses his father ( he couldn’t be found at see ), so he starts writing messages to the sea and apparently someone has written back to him.

This book was very good. I liked Tom because he never really knew what he wanted to do which I thought was quite funny. I would recommend this book.

Loved this book. I would definitely recommend this to semantically readers that like adventure but not too much. For people like me with a vivid imagination, it is good to let your thought wander sometimes.

Unfortunately, I found this book pretty boring.. It just wasn't the sort of book I like reading, but it does seem like a book others would like to read!
