Magnus Fin And The Selkie Secret (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
What a relief. He wanted to laugh out loud. He wanted to cheer. His hand was normal! He stretched and wiggled his fingers, then bounded out of bed. He couldn’t wait to go to school. He couldn’t wait to see his 22 pals. He’d be as normal as… He couldn’t think. Everyone in his class was different in their own way. He pictured Robbie Cairns, who sat at the front, always handed his homework in on time and always answered questions correctly. Maybe he was normal? Fin decided Robbie Cairns was probably the most normal boy in the class, so he would model himself on him. Robbie was a good reader. Fin rummaged in his rucksack, pulled out his reading book, bounced back on his boat-like bed, and tried to remember where he had got to. One of the pages was bent back. Probably there, he reckoned. So he read, slowly, stumbling over big words like “considered” and “mercifully”. It was a story about a boy who had to pull a sword out of a stone, but then he went blind.
