The Sign of the Seahorse - by Graeme Base.
Soft cover, 48 pages 27cm x 30.5cm
Illustrious images.
Beyond the ken of mortal men, beneath the wind and waves,
There lies a land of shells and sand, of chasms, crags and caves,
Where coral castles climb and soar, where swaying saeweeds grow,
And all around without a sound the ocean currents flow . . . .
The inhabitants of a coral reef are threatened when a shady real estate deal started by the greedy Groper floods their area with poisonous waste.
