About the book

Every year the medieval village of Crundall has a fair. This year there's a new attraction: a merman. When Jack Fisher sees him, he's as surprised as everyone else, but unlike the others, Jack doesn't just see a mythical sea creature-and stranger still, looking back at him, the merman doesn't just seem to see an ordinary teenager. So begins Jack's discovery of his real origins and the watery green kingdom where all is not well... First published in 2000, the following year The Green Prince was adapted for the stage and shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards for Science Fiction and Fantasy.
