Tides of Grand Sable

On the weathered shores of Mauritius, twelve-year-old Aisha learns the rhythm of her world through the scent of salt and the call of the crabs. Her father, Baba, is a crab fisherman, and the sea is their life-a fickle provider that feeds them but also took her mother. But when a cyclone, industrial trawlers, and a poisoned tide threaten to destroy their village and way of life, Aisha's father is forced to make a desperate choice, leaving her to confront a silent sea alone. From the depths of loss, Aisha must find a new rhythm, weaving together the lessons of her father, the whispers of the ocean, and the resilience of her own heart to mend not just the broken nets, but the very soul of her community. This is a tender, soaring tale of a girl who discovers that the sea never gives, it only lends-and that our greatest strength is learning how to give back.
