Publisher's Summary

His feet were the first clue...

Casper dreams of swimming the Channel. Surely, he was born to use his webbed toes... Instead, he’s strictly forbidden to go near water.

When his parents have an unlucky accident, Casper is sent to stay with a grandmother he’s never met – where he discovers his special tie to the sea...
