It is a magical world which we must all inhabit at one time in our lives and which are as important in this computer age as ever before.

Selkies, werewolves, and a minotaur? Eleven-year old Abbie Flanders is surely a girl with too much imagination. Or is she? It's Maine in the Fifties, and Abbie Flanders knows she's going to have the worst summer ever—until she meets Rachel, a new friend who leads her into the surprising world of the changelings and shapeshifters who are her neighbors in Flanders Cove. But meanwhile, Abbie's baby sister Tink is a still a nuisance, her three older brothers are pests, and Mom and Dad are working double-time to keep from losing their ramshackle home, formerly a tavern called "The Fisherman's Bride."Among the changelings are "Aunt Lily," Abbie's favorite person in the whole world, and Gavin, a bear boy who cannot resist the sound of a baseball bat hitting a ball just right. But there's also Aris Flanders—a dark and cruel bull of a man—and he is determined to destroy the very family that once cherished him. Years ago, Aris caused an accident that killed his adoptive parents—Abbie's own great-grandparents—and he also tried to convince the shapeshifters to rebel against the townspeople, but Destin Brousseau, a white caribou who loves his human life as town doctor, ran Aris off and restored the changeling tribe's rituals and dignity. Now, to combat the new dangers triggered by the return of this evil old man, daydreamer Abbie must quickly grow up and become a young woman of action, as fearless as her seafaring great-grandmother once was. When Aris kidnaps the toddler Tink, it is up to Abbie, Rachel, and a gang of neighborhood kids to go to the rescue.While Abbie's adventure takes center stage, the tales of the Flanders Cove changelings provide THE FISHERMAN'S BRIDE with a rich tapestry of folklore and fantasy, and give the reader an understanding of how both nature and nurture affect our personalities and the decisions we make.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONTHE FISHERMAN’S SON is a middle grade fantasy novel about the adventures of Wiley O’Mara. On the back of a magical dolphin, the twelve-year-old rescues six boys trapped in an ancient city under the sea. Along the way, he fights both The Beast in the Forest and a Fire Beast guarding the city of old.REVIEWSPIERS ANTHONY, author of the Xanth series, the Incarnations of Immortality series, the Adept series, and so much more! Now I have read The Fisherman's Son. This is a nice children's fantasy, grounded in realism. Even the fantastic element is realistic, in that the dolphin doesn't abridge the rules just for convenience; the right introduction has to be made. It's not all right to make the excuse "I lost the cup because of a bear.”James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief of the “Midwest Book Review”The Fisherman’s Son is a delightful and colorfully narrated tale which documents Marilyn Peake as a story teller of considerable narrative skill.Rebecca Brown, Founder of “RebeccasReads” The Fisherman’s Son is a complex tale simply written, with fascinating detail & unblinking reality borrowing from legends & sagas deep within our collective memories.Phillip Tomasso III, “The Best Reviews” Marilyn Peake has burst onto the scene as a promising writer with the release of her first middle grade novel, The Fisherman’s Son.…Peake is a talented, creative and passionate storyteller.

Rowe, “My Shelf” The author’s descriptions of the underwater world are exhilarating as Wiley traverses the depths and meets up with wonderful undersea creatures and the fearsome dragon-beast that guards the entrance to the village.This book would be a great read-aloud project for the whole family.Tracy Farnsworth, “Roundtable Reviews” Marilyn Peake launches her debut with a fast paced offering that contains excellent imagery amidst a coming of age story.The Fisherman’s Son will appeal to readers both young and old.This relatively quick read is a perfect offering for those who love fantasy.Sharon Schulz-Elsing, Contributing Editor of “Curled Up With a Good Book”Marilyn Peake’s first fantasy novel for young readers, The Fisherman’s Son, calls to mind all the mystery and wonder of Orson Scott Card’s earlier mythological works such as Hart’s Hope or Seventh Son in its quest-style tale, and in its evocative descriptions of a place much like early nineteenth-century Ireland comes close to the lush and luminous visual treatment of John Sayles’ magical film The Secret of Roan Innish.…this children’s debut shines with fear, wonder, triumph and loss. Few readers will be able to resist this tale of a resourceful young boy…Jennie S. BevThis first book by author Marilyn Peake shows her tremendous talent in story telling.In many ways, I found The Fisherman’s Son a strong novel for children.Cheryl McCann, “Review-Books” The Fisherman’s Son is a children’s novel filled with fantasy, adventure and the heroic qualities of a brave, young boy. Even though it is considered a children’s book, I certainly enjoyed the rich, descriptive text of this tale. It has wonderful imagination with touches of realism; descriptions of events are rich and put you in the scene, and it has a wonderful plot. I recommend it highly and look forward to the next book.
