When Left Shoe sails into the teeth of a storm, he catches sight of a strange object riding on the crest of a towering wave. But there is something else in the water, deep in the silent blackness. Waiting. Watching.

 

Before Left Shoes can return to his village in Foamy Bay, he must find the courage to defeat the seadog's greatest enemy, and rescue something precious.

Annie O'Dowd's inspiration for the seadogs was the sandy expanses of school holidays spent around Moreton Bay. She lives in Brisbane.
