The Brides Of Rollrock Island (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
See? She loves them! The seals gleamed in the sunshine. I tried to crawl to them, but Bee held firm to my ankle, and I could not go. Pink flowers on long stems nodded about my ears. I did not even have enough of a mind to know that the cliff dropped away there; I thought that the seals lay on the ground right in front of me, that they were seething worms or caterpillars, sleek and soft-looking. I thought I could catch up a handful of them, and understand them as I understood everything, by putting them in my mouth. Ann Jelly carried me down the cliff path, back and forth in a tipped-steep world. As we went, I saw the seals more truly. They were grown-up-people-sized; they were bigger even than that. Still I reached for them. I leaned out from Ann Jelly’s shoulder, and when she turned I leaned across her face. Look, she’s not at all afraid, she said. They would roll on you and crush you, Missk, for all their big friendly eyes. How they smell! Oh, the king of them down there, fighting off those ones, isn’t he the ugliest thing you ever laid eyes on?
