#BookReview: Dylan McFinn & The Sea Serpent's Fury Liam Jenkins

Synopsis: “Dylan sat gazing out of his classroom window, waiting for the bell to ring. He was watching seahorses playing in the reeds of sea kelp swaying in the gentle current … and not paying any attention at all to the maths lesson that was continuing outside of his daydream. “Pssst … psst,” Dylan heard behind him. 

Murdoch passed a note forward. Dylan quickly grabbed it and opened it under his desk without Mrs Pike-Teeth seeing it.

It read, Happy birthday Bubble Boy!”

Dylan McFinn is an ordinary twelve-year-old. Ordinary, that is, if you ignore the fact that he lives deep under the Pacific Ocean with his family The McFinn’s.

As he battles monsters and maelstroms on his first day as a teenager, Dylan discovers that he can be an awful lot more than he imagines and a nostalgic trip to the past was more than just a rite of passage. It was a passage to his destiny.

Rating: ★★★★
My Review: This was a great blend of a few different aspects of stories from mermaids to environmental issues. And it worked well for this story.  This is definitely one of those tales that get kids to read.  I loved the characters and the story in a story aspect.  The pacing was wonderful and I just couldn't put it down.
