An upside-down sea. Icy cold at the surface and tropically warm at the bottom. How weird is that? Well, things are about to get a whole lot weirder. How about super seaslugs, or marine owls; giant squid and megalomaniac sharks? It’s a weird, weird world down at the bottom of the North Sea, and among all this weirdness live Charlie Codfish and his friends, Kira the mermaid and Oldroyd, a giant eel. It is Charlie’s birthday and his parents give him a pet puppy seal, which immediately runs away. Can Charlie, Kira and Oldroyd find the puppy before it is too late? Will the tyrant sharks get what they want?

Stephen Fothergill is a Yorkshire born writer and jack-of-all-trades. After a long and successful career in engineering, Stephen decided to give it all up and devote himself to his first love, writing. After graduating with a Creative Writing BA and an MA, he briefly lectured in English at a London college before leaving the big city for the relative peace and quiet of Lincolnshire, where he writes and pursues his other work as an audio-book narrator and voice artist.
David Fothergill is the younger brother of Stephen, the author, and is also a born and bred Yorkshireman. Like his brother, he has spent most of his life outside the county having lived the good life in Gibraltar for the past forty-five years. David attended Sheffield College of Art, but then, against his better judgement, eventually became an engineer. He is now happily retired from engineering and fulfilling his original objective of becoming a professional artist. He is currently focusing upon developing his skills as an illustrator as well as working on several fine-art commissions. He has exhibited work in various galleries.

Paperback. Condition: new. Fothergill, David (illustrator). Paperback. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the sea was upside down? Where the coldest, darkest waters are at the surface, while at the most extreme depths sea creatures languish in warm, almost tropical lagoons. Well, part of the North Sea is like that. Yes, really, it is - upside down! On the surface the sea is stormy and dangerous where wild gales whistle and blow, creating waves taller than a house. The water is almost as cold as ice, even in the hottest of summers. But you would be very surprised to find that at the very bottom of the deepest, unexplored depths of the North Sea where you would expect it to be at its coldest and darkest, it is blue and warm and a place of wonder. A magical paradise that was unknown until very recently. It is called Askja. Askja is midway between the coast of Yorkshire and Norway where, from the bottom of a deep and wide valley, gushes an enormous spring of volcanic water that is as warm as a tropical sea. This life-giving water makes things grow, and in Askja, oh, how things grow! The giant kelp seaweed is as high as a great redwood tree. It grows in a lush, dense seaweed forest that stretches beyond the undersea horizon. Askja is also home to a vast variety of strange and exotic sea creatures, many that you will find nowhere else in Earth's oceans. There are giant lobsters and gruesome hairy crabs. Oily black sea slugs and eight-pointed starfish, and many other wild and fantastic creatures. These all live happily in complete harmony with the sea creatures that we all know and would recognise.Among this incredible diversity, live the Askjan codfish family. And one of them is a young fish named Charlie. Charlie Codfish is a very exceptional fish, and if you read on, you will see why. A children's story about marine life. It is set deep down in the North Sea. It is full of humor, emotion, danger and suspense. Written for children of all ages. This item is printed on demand.
