Strangers, storms and whispers of legendary sea people… Eloise Williams skilfully interweaves nature and myth in her stunning Barrington Stoke debut.

In the wake of a tempest hitting her town, Morwenna is left to take care of a stranger washed ashore.

The storm is just another of many that have plagued the town for years – people blame the tide singers, legendary sea people who are said to charm storms with their singing.

Morwenna has never believed the tales, but when she is left alone with the stranger, she realises this is no ordinary girl. Can the stories be true? Can the girl control the tides with nothing more than her voice?

Her arrival brings danger of a different kind, and Morwenna must draw on all the courage she has in order to stop a conflict that could destroy her home…

Reviews for The Tide Singer

"""I LOVED this stunning tale … As with all of Eloise's books, the writing is beautiful and haunting, and the story immediately sweeps us away, this time into the dark and mysterious world of the tide singers"" – Jennifer Killick, author ""A stunning intertwining of Welsh folklore and gripping adventure … This is a one-of-a-kind story of the wild unknown"" – Scope for the Imagination ""Has the distinct feel of a classic … I can't recommend this book highly enough"" – Julia Thum, author ""A gothic tale of revenge, intolerance and legendary creatures whose songs command the tides … it shows that voices standing united in peace have the power to change minds … August Ro’s illustrations are exceptionally beautiful … it was told through the pictures as well as the words and the two together created something magical."" – Book Murmuration ""Eerily haunting with its funeral parlour and cemetery island setting … Steeped in Welsh folklore, this is a captivating read from Eloise Williams."" – Feeling Rather Bookish"
