I completely purchased this book for the cover … A lady called Julia and the shark, it’s stunning!!! I am everything about the wild ocean and a glimpse at the unbelievable illustrations and this book was calling my name …

And after that I got reading, it is a story about a woman and her moms and dads, who relocate to a remote island among the Shetland Islands, for the summer season, due to the fact that her daddy deals with lighthouses. It so occurs that her mum is a marine researcher (Yes, good example right there!!!), who is trying to find a specific and very unusual Greenland shark.

This is a book about discovery as we end up being conscious of her mum’s mental disorder and how the household deals with it. Her mum has actually been identified with Bipolar affective disorder, which is extremely unclear medical diagnosis however we rapidly understand that her highs are high and her lows are low. As Julia’s mum look for mystical shark, so the shark starts to go into Julia’s dream world … and When her mum ultimately can’t continue her research study any longer, Julia goes out on her own experience, to satisfy her mom’s mission.

This book is wonderful, without “glamourising” or “preaching,” you get an excellent take a look at the world, of coping with a moms and dad who battles with psychological health concerns, through the eyes of a brave and caring kid. In a period where it is a lot simpler to speak about psychological health than throughout my youth, the taboo and hushed discussions concerning it still remain.

I liked this read and it is ideal for raising awareness of psychological health, however the book is in fact everything about the most great experience and the most figured out young character.

I am enjoyed find books like this on middle grade racks, it’s stunning, it is highly detailed, it carefully deals with a challenging subject all under the guise of a fantastic and perky experience. Perfect reading for kids who like the ocean, who like wild experiences and who have buddies, or they themselves, reside in a house that is impacted by challenging psychological health concerns. A marvelous and victorious tale … I liked this book.
