Land of the Yellow Sea

INTRODUCTION

Follow Rose Iris Lavender on her journey through The Land of the Yellow Sea as she searches for something of great importance—if only she knew what!

This novel has many levels of understanding and can be read by good readers of nine upwards (youngsters might have to look up some words, and adults will definitely have to look up some forgotten words). The thing that Rose is seeking, is something she is beginning to lose. It is something no child should ever lose but inevitably, in our world, almost all children do. This is an ambitious novel because it tackles all the deep questions; such as belief, death, birth and love. This is an honest book with none of its heavily disguised punches pulled.

Note:

The draft of this novel was a thesis submitted on my first postgraduate course (PGCE). And because it was partly paper-typed and mainly handwritten I had left it undisturbed until very recently. So I finally typed it up on my laptop. The reason I did, was because I recently saw a 9-year-old's letter saying that she would like to read it when it is finished. What happened was the examiner, Mike Walker, my thesis examiner and Sociology lecturer at Brunel University, brought the draft of my thesis home to mark it. And his daughter, Amy, stumbled on it by accident. She read the opening 12 chapters or so that I had actually typed up. It appears she enjoyed them. This came as a great surprise to her father. 

Perhaps this Amy Walker, who would now be about 40 years old, will see a scan of her letter and find this book. Perhaps such finds might put a smile on her face. Here is a scan of that very letter:

The picture Amy drew must be where Rose meets Blubber Lips on the Path of Jealousy (which is alive; hence why Amy drew a face). The path does speak but I never mentioned it had a face in my draft. However, I love what Amy has done by creating a face, because it's related to the whole premise of the book—which you'll have to find out for yourself!

Perhaps this piece of literature has its roots in Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and The Yellow Submarine (the Beatles song). That what the examiner thought. However, it is an original story, with original inventive characters. I hope children and adults enjoy it.

The Land of the Yellow Sea:

A young girl is searching for something in a fantastical undersea world—but what?
