About this listen
Eleven-year-old Thistle Penhallow is sent to spend the summer with her great-aunt Marigold, who keeps the old lighthouse above the tiny harbor town of Port Marrow and insists that nothing exciting has ever happened there.
Then, at the lowest tide of the year, Thistle finds a round blue door in the harbor wall. It opens for exactly twelve minutes. Behind it lies Under-Mere, a hidden kingdom in the shallows, where lantern-crab lamplighters light the lanes, a seahorse chancellor in a waistcoat makes very long speeches, a heron messenger complains about everything, and the only money anyone takes at the market is a kind word.
Their Great Tide-Clock, which keeps the sea's manners in order, has stopped. Unless it is wound by the Midsummer spring tide, the sea will forget its manners and flood Port Marrow and Under-Mere alike. Only a door-keeper from the dry world can carry the three missing winding-pieces out of the places where they were hidden.
Eighteen tides, and one task for each: a lost brass key in a shipwreck library, a song that must be sung backwards, a market where every purchase is paid for in compliments, a lighthouse that has to be persuaded to blink. Along the way Thistle gathers a cheerful gang of local kids, and listeners can try to solve every clue before she does. There is no villain in these waters, only an old promise that was forgotten and a very large, very sleepy tortoise.
Playful, warm and gently suspenseful, with plenty of laughs for the grown-ups in the car, no scary scenes, and a joyful ending. An adventure for ages 8 to 12 and everyone along for the ride.
A seaside fantasy adventure for listeners ages 8 to 12.
