Swimming Against the Storm by Jess Butterworth invites readers into a thrilling adventure that unfolds in the enchanting swamplands of Louisiana. This tale centers around the brave twelve-year-old sisters, Eliza and Avery, who are determined to protect their home from the encroaching waters of rising sea levels.

As residents of a quaint fishing village, the sisters are deeply connected to the vibrant wildlife surrounding them. However, when their beloved home is threatened, they embark on a daring quest into the heart of the swamp. Their mission? To find the legendary loup-garou, a mythical creature that could hold the key to saving their community.

As Eliza and Avery venture deeper into the mysterious wetlands, they are confronted with numerous challenges:

  • Facing the vastness of the wild terrain
  • Contending with the looming threat of a tropical storm
  • Putting their wits to the test as they navigate danger at every turn

This gripping narrative beautifully intertwines themes of environmental conservation, sisterhood, and bravery, making it a perfect read for fans of Katherine Rundell and Lauren St John. "Swimming Against the Storm" serves as a poignant reminder of hope and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Join Eliza and Avery on their unforgettable journey and discover the power of belief in the extraordinary as they strive to save their home!

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
