With an important ecological message of respecting the oceans and looking after them as opposed to harming them and themes of acceptance and standing up for what is right, Joe Todd-Stanton’s exciting folk-tale is an absolutely gorgeous and heart-warming read where the littlest of voices makes herself heard and encourages the reader to search out the truth for themselves as appearances can be very, very deceptive. An original picture book story that is superbly illustrated from cover to cover, Joe Todd-Stanton's 'The Secret of Black Rock' is a compelling and entertaining read for children ages 5 to 8, making it an extraordinary and highly recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library collections. Erin wants answers, and stowing away on her mum’s fishing boat she will uncover the secret of Black Rock once and for all…Ī search for the truth turns into a wonderful underwater adventure and a one-girl mission to save the day when Erin discovers that Black Rock is not something to be fearful of, in fact, it is quite the opposite. The huge, sharp, rocky mass, which is capable of moving through the sea as it pleases, is said to destroy any boats that come near it. She wished she could go out to sea but it was too dangerous because of the legend of Black Rock.
Erin loved lying on the end of the jetty, looking at all the marine life swimming below.
