    About this ebook

    Young Abigail Oats has never been popular at school, and to make matters worse, she keeps hearing a freaky watery shhh sound behind her when nobody is around, just like the lapping sounds of real, wet, ocean waves. It's, you know—disconcerting.

    Especially when you live in the dry desert.

    And it seems like two realities are happening at once.

    Wasn't it enough her whole life has been upturned in a recent tragedy?

    When Abigail "follows" the watery shhh sound and wakes up floating on a ragged orange life raft in a drowning blue sea, it will take the determination of a strong soul to make the right choices to survive.

    Valerie Brook

    When Valerie was a little girl her parent’s television blew out one night just as the news broadcast ended. For some mysterious and fateful reason, they never fixed it. Not for five years. And during those five years her mother read to her nearly every night; filling her head with distant lands, magical creatures and heroic courage. This seeded Valerie’s childhood dream to be an author. Now, she lives in Portland, Oregon, with her family and well-loved pets. When she’s not writing she can be found painting, riding motorcycles, or dreaming about living on an old-fashioned farm.
