Night 1 · Sample chapter text

The Shell That Hummed

Mia’s toes were still sandy when the shell began to hum.

It glowed pink, the same pink as the sky over the water, and a small brown face popped up out of the foam.

The otter said hello as if he had been waiting all day for someone who loved the ocean.
