A delightful softback picture book that shows the power of children’s imaginations and dreams.
Jack loves building sandcastles more than anything in the world, although he can’t stop the sea from stealing them away. Then one day, he finds a shell with magical powers and makes a wish to be king of his own sandcastle. In no time, he finds himself in the middle of an amazing adventure. But is his new power greater than the power of the sea?
This magical tale draws the reader into Jack’s amazing adventure of wishes, sandcastles, shells, mermaids, and floods through the truly magnificent, colour illustrations.
