Oliver and the Seawigs
Philip Reeve, Sarah McIntyre
Oliver grew up in a family of explorers - but his biggest adventure is about to begin! Along with his new friends, a grumpy old albatross, a short-sighted mermaid and a friendly island called Cliff, Oliver goes off in search of his missing parents. But before he can put his rescue plan into action there's the evil Stacey de Lacey and an army of pesky sea monkeys to contend with . . . EEP! Award-winning dynamic duo, Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre, have created a book bursting with eccentric characters and stunning two colour illustrations. This book has been shortlisted for the 2014 Blue Peter Book Awards, in the Best Story category. 'A delightfully told, beautiful tale of nautical hairdressing, saltwater primates and sarcastic seaweed - this is my kind of book!' Chris Riddell

I thought Oliver and Cliff were very brave by standing up for themselves against bullies.

I like this book because it has so many sea adventures. In one of the sea adventures,Oliver finds a seawig that is alive and a blind mermaid .I also like the part when Oliver saved all the seawigs from the therlstone and I like the bit where Oliver tickled the therlstone. I also like the part where Oliver, the mermaid (Iris) and Cliff (the seawig) found the water mole (submerine).

This is a lovely story that a boy and girl would enjoy. All about life at sea and friendships formed. A great read

I borrowed this book from the library as I had read it at school. It is a gripping tale and I enjoyed this book but I would recommend it to people who like adventures.
