The Barnacle MAn
“A hermit's life, forever long, looking for his next shell. A borrowed home, he’s all alone safe within his shell.”
A beautifully told tale of self-acceptance and embracing life's next adventure.
When young, excitable and animal-loving Toby meets a reserved old man named Bertie, they go on an unforgettable adventure below the waves. Meeting charismatic dolphins, glowing jellyfish and even the odd musical octopus. Learning about friendship, self-belief and belonging along the way.
