The story of a friendship as deep and dangerous as the ocean by the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree. 'One of our finest storytellers,' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent The gods were as real as the coastlines and currents, and as merciless as the winds and whirlpools. For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, thirty years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on. On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold. But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Author Bio: Frances Hardinge spent her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, by this time a persistent friend had finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. Known for her beautiful use of language, she has since written many critically acclaimed novels, including A Skinful of Shadows, Verdigris Deep, Cuckoo Song, and the Costa Award-winning The Lie Tree.

This confirms that there is pressing need for YoungMinds to increase its reach and impact. As the only charity solely focused on championing the mental health of children and young people, it is uniquely placed to ensure that everyone knows what role they can play in improving the wellbeing of UK’s young people. A new Strategic Plan was approved by the Board in February 2016 and the resourcing requirements of this plan will be reviewed regularly. The Board membership has been refreshed and I am delighted that the Young People’s Panel is growing and will have a direct influence on Board considerations as well as many other charitable activities. Every year at YoungMinds is busy and 2015-16 was no exception. Thousands of parents received high quality support and information; hundreds of young people took part in activities which raised awareness of the challenges they are facing and opened people’s eyes to what needs to be done to improve the services that are on offer; large numbers of professionals and agencies benefitted from the training and consultancy that YoungMinds provides.
