The model of the boat that Granddad is making for Gavin's birthday is perfect down to the tiniest detail. All she needs is the perfect name. Gavin chooses 'Selkie' - after the mystical seal-people, who will help you if you are in trouble, and because he might have seen a selkie in Stonehaven harbour when he and Granddad were fishing. When Granddad is struck down by a massive stroke, Gavin is sure that the boat, and the selkies, hold the key to saving him.
