Irrepressible young adventurers Lucy and Sam travel from London in Dad's motorcycle-and-sidecar for the holiday of a lifetime on the wild Northumbrian coast. In their newly-discovered world of beach, rocks, and an uninhabited island, a tale of romance and excitement unfolds to storms and sunshine and the mysterious music of the sea--but they soon have to deal with grown-up passions as well as the wind and weather. Roger Harvey's enchanting tale of the mermaid and the millionaire, the poet with the boat, and the one-parent family with the motorbike offers a witty and magical feast of fun for readers of all ages.
