Description
The first book in a stunning new fantasy adventure trilogy, perfect for readers aged 9+ and fans of Philip Pullman, Piers Torday, Abi Elphinstone, Katherine Rundell and Frances Hardinge.
In the sky, the fire spirits dance and ripple. Grandma says they showed our Tribe that I’d be a captain, before I was even born.
Ever since Ma died, Mouse has looked after her little brother, Sparrow, dreaming of her destiny as captain of the Huntress. But now Da’s missing, Sparrow is in danger, and a deathly cold is creeping across Trianukka . . .
Sea-churning, beast-chattering, dream-dancing, whale-riding, terrodyl-flying, world-saving adventure.
If you like Northern Lights, The Lie Tree, The Last Wild and Rooftoppers, you'll love Sea.
Sarah Driver is a nurse and midwife, who started writing stories as a small child. Sea is Sarah's debut novel and is the first in The Huntress Trilogy. Sarah was born in West Sussex, where she still lives close to the sea with her street-wise ginger cat and her miniature lop-eared bunny.

Set to be The Huntress’s Captain one day, Mouse must look after her brother, Sparrow until their Dad returns. But all is not as it should be in Trianukka. The terrodylls should be nesting now, not attacking their ship, the ice is forming too fast and too early, a stranger has boarded the trading ship Mouse calls home instead of her Da, and he's wearing her Da’s seal-skin cloak. And, what is wrong with Sparrow?
From the action-packed beginning, Sea never lets up it pace in this heart-thumping adventure, as we set out on an epic quest with the tenacious Mouse and her Tribe across a fantasy world to rival Narnia and Middle-Earth. Sarah Driver's debut swallowed me whole and didn't spit me out until I'd turned the last page.
The first in The Huntress Saga, can't wait for more!
Great for fans of The Dreamsnatcher, The Hobbit, Northern Lights, Narnia and The Last Wild.

This is a children’s book that said it was for fans of Philip Pullman which is definitely something to live up to and it didn’t disappoint. It was very magical.
The main character had a distinct voice, which I loved but I can see that some people might find it annoying. The story follows a wilful little girl called mouse aboard a ship called the huntress. Moonspirits, whalesong, being able to talk to pet hawks, old myths that turn out to be something more and a healthy dose of magic are all added into the mix to make a brilliant story that I could escape into.

A fresh and engaging mid grade / lower YA novel, Sea boasts some beautiful world builing, a cunning set up and brilliantly drawn characters. Destined to be Captain of the Huntress since before her birth Mouse has a far more complicated adventure ahead of her than anyone anticaped. This is undoubtably a great start to a thrilling new series.
