The Giant’s Necklace

Tragic, beautiful, tense: all the things you expect from the master. A pink shell necklace, a dark turn, a twist you’ll never guess… Cherry has spent weeks making the necklace: so long it’s fit for a giant. Now it’s the last day of the holidays. She only needs a few more glistening pink cowrie shells. Who cares if her brothers tease her? She’s going to spend the day finding them. So she heads off to the beach. The sun is shining. But as she combs the shore, the clouds grow dark and the waves grow tall. A storm has blown in – and Cherry is cut off by the tide. How will she finish her giant’s necklace now…?
