Twins of the Tide: The Adventure of Being Enough
When twelve-year-old twins Cameron and Malachi move with their marine scientist parents to the small coastal town of Kaikoura, New Zealand, they feel like fish out of water. Life by the sea is a big change from what they’re used to, and fitting in seems even harder.
