Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From Daniel, a young boy who fears the crazy, scary witch who sits on the beach weaving blankets of seaweed, to Misskaella’s own point of view as a child growing up into a young woman. We get to see Misskaella from multiple perspectives. Lanagan’s Sea Hearts is a wonderful novel about a town that scorns a magical girl who ends up teaching them all a lesson they’ll never forget. As part of my current writing challenge, this one filled the category of a body of water included in the book title, and I eagerly got stuck into it on my walks to and from work. Sea Hearts is a shortlisted book for the Children’s Book Council of Australua and even though it’s categorised as Young Adult, it will appeal to adult readers as well. I picked up my signed copy at her book launch for Zeroes (co-authored with Scott Westerfeld and Deborah Biancotti) ages ago and vaguely remembered someone telling me to pay attention to the names at the start of each section. Sea Hearts by Margo Lanaghan has been on my list for a while. ![]()
