- Book Synopsis
- Margaret Mahy's classic cautionary tale The Great White Man-Eating Shark is reimagined with delightfully cheeky illustrations from Herb MacDonald, the winner of the 2024 Margaret Mahy Illustration Prize. Welcome to Caramel Cove. The beach is amazing. The ocean is even better. Norvin loves to swim and shoot through the water like a silver arrow. He doesn't like sharing his beloved swimming spot with others. But with a little bit of planning, and a homemade shark fin, Norvin discovers he can have Caramel Cove all to himself. 'Mahy tells this "Cautionary Tale" in a quietly comic, deceptively simple style inspired by her usual marvellous dry wit' Kirkus Reviews Other Margaret Mahy Illustration Prize titles include: The Boy with Two Shadows with art by Sarah Greig The Boy Who Made Things Up with art by Lily Emo There's a King in the Cupboard with art by Minrui Yang The Witch in the Cherry Tree with art by Jessica Twohill 17 Kings and 42 Elephants with art by Alba Gil Celdrán
