About a boy who witnesses his grandfather's stroke, then tries to communicate with his comatose body in the hospital. Not particularly gripping and the selkie inclusion felt more contrived than real. Still, the description of a stroke and recovery for both the patient and his family was quite detailed. I'd recommend this to any child/young adult between 10 & 16 with a loved one in the hospital for long-term care.

If I were ever a writer, I'd want to be like P.D. Each story is different from every other (no lazy series!) with it's own wisdom and charm. I really liked how realistic the characters were - no cardboard role-fillers, even if they're mentioned for one paragraph they're clearly real people with loves and fears and dreams of their own.

I picked this up and didn't put it down until I finished it. I loved Gavin, who is the main character, and found it touching the way he did everything he could think of to reconnect with his grandfather after his stroke. Add a little bit of magic, and this became the perfect cold and rainy spring day read.

Odd story of a boy trying to communicate with his grandfather, who has had a stroke, with the help of the selkies.
