Product Details
|
Miho's backyard had always been the sea, and the creatures within it an endless source of fascination. But when the sea steals away her small family, she finds herself forced to live with an uncle she has never met, and submerged in a world she has never known Japan.
From the city of Nagoya to the seaside town of Goza, Miho struggles to fit in and navigate the language, the culture, and her own grief. It is in Goza, during the festival of the dead, where she discovers her surprising family history. She is befriended by an old man who becomes her Sensei and teaches her Shodo, The Way of the Brush.
It is also by the sea that she meets Gaia the living entity of the Earth. Gaia grants her amazing powers to connect with the minds in the water. Miho is given access to and understanding of all the world's oceans, and her powers take her to the other side of the world. There she discovers she is not the only girl whose life has been upended by a talking otter!
Will she be able to use her powers to help balance the traditions of the past with the demands of the present? Can she overcome her outsider status to help others understand The Way of the Water?
paperback, 350pages, ages 9 and up.
