4-6Secrets of Topsea series.
Illustrated by
Rachel Sanson.
When Davy moves to Topsea with his mother, he's not prepared for a locker at the bottom of a swimming pool, seaweed for lunch, and an abundance of cats (yet dogs are "just a myth"). What first seems like pure nonsense evolves into a story of friendship, adjustment, and loss, told in multiple voices and sprinkled with memorable encounters with, for example, a haunted pinball machine and a chewing gum wall.
