{"product_id":"the-deep-2","title":"The Deep","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The water looked beautiful. It went all greeny-blue out there. It was deep. So deep you couldn't see the bottom.\" These thoughts run through Alice's head as she tries to overcome her fear of swimming in the deep ocean water near her home. Frightened and miserable, she watches every day as her parents and two older brothers jump and dive, calling her to join them. Alice does overcome her fear, but the way it happens--she unthinkingly follows some playful dolphins who come into the shallow water back out to the deep--is so unique it doesn't give youngsters with similar fears any way to transfer and adapt Alice's actions to their situation. Louise's realistic illustrations capture the fresh colors of the sea, and the landscapes are strong, but some of the figures appear awkward and disproportionate. Although this title may not find a broad audience, it will strike a chord with kids who relate to Alice's fears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tim-winton-books\"\u003eTim Winton\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fremantle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781863682107\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fremantle Press","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.12","offer_id":47918650917041,"sku":"SB-1863682104-C3","price":1.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1863682104.jpg?v=1789692840","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-deep-2","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
