Description:

Kishore's heart thunders on his debut sea voyage with Papa—friends' tales of ocean monsters loom large. Towering waves claw the sky, shadowy gloom swallows the boat, and unseen beasts slither below, sparking desperate homesickness. Why venture into this watery nightmare? Then Papa shares a fisherman's secret: true bravery blooms from fear, not despite it. Amid Tamil Nadu's coastal whispers, this tender graphic novel charts a boy's rite-of-passage, forging unbreakable father-son ties through shared shivers and starry triumphs. C.G. Salamander's immersive illustrations plunge readers into eerie enchantment—phosphorescent swells, lantern flickers, silhouette struggles—transforming dread into wonder. Ages 8+, a poignant coastal gem celebrating empathy, legacy, and conquering the deep one wave at a time.
