Storm Singing And Other Tangled Tasks (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
She had learnt to row on a loch, with no big waves and no sharp rocks, and she’d never been out at sea on her own. But the sea was calm, she stayed close to the shore, and the boat was lighter without Yann. Without anyone else to keep a lookout, she had to twist round regularly to check what was in front of the boat. She avoided the rocks she could see, and hoped there weren’t any submerged. Then she heard her name being called. She looked up, and saw two bright dots against the pale cliffs. Catesby and Lavender. The fairy screamed, “Wait! It’s not … The Scouts are …” Every third or fourth word was lost in the noise of water and seabirds. Catesby was flying round Lavender, his beak protecting the tiny fairy from the razorbills and guillemots on the cliff face, his wings sheltering her from the air currents. Helen sighed. They had chased her out to sea, where neither of them had the weight to resist any wind, all to help their friend Rona win.
