Sea. Sarah Driver

Sparrow’s voice rings out. The whales answer him, and Vole starts singing with them, to wind the protection tighter around us.

      I wish I’d thought to ask Da what the old song means. I’ve got to work it out – cos the ice, the terrodyls, Stag, the polar dog attack – they’ve all got me feeling like things ent right, like there’s a stain spreading over Trianukka. And maybe, if I can find them Opals, they’ll lead me to Da.
