Sadie and the Sea Dogs

‘Dreamer.’ Mum called her. ‘Always miles away.’

Sadie lives by the Thames at Greenwich and longs for sea adventure. She whiles away hours at The Maritime Museum or gazing at The Cutty Sark and fills her head with dreams of ocean voyages on ancient sailing ships.

One day she falls asleep beneath a cabinet in the  museum and wakes to find herself embarking on an adventure about which she could only have dreamed …

Duffy’s lyrical poetry and Joice’s vibrant illustrations create an unforgettable voyage into a magical world of dolphins, mermaids, pirates and treasure.

The book, for 7-12 year-olds, is packed full of adventure and fun facts.
