I was Haven Point’s first Wreckling, but I certainly wasn’t the last. There are forty-two of us now, not including the mermaids. Alpha Lux was washed up beside a remote lighthouse as a baby and raised by a mermaid. She became the first of the Wrecklings — a ramshackle community of disabled people who’ve claimed the lighthouse as their home, looting passing ships to get by and calling themselves whatever they like. Life at Haven Point means wild adventures on the shore, plenty of squabbling and endless trouble with the grown-ups. But when Alpha spots an unfamiliar light up on the headland, she realises that Outsiders may be closing in on the family she loves. To protect everything they’ve built, the Wrecklings must decide what kind of future they want — and what they’re prepared to do to keep it. A stunning literary adventure from an incredible debut talent, perfect for fans of Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Cerrie Burnell and Katherine Rundell. “A charming tale of found families and mermaids, with my favourite kind of hero at its heart” – Elle McNicoll, award-winning author of A Kind of Spark
