“This book is amazing! It’s great to read Lucy’s second adventure. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t stop reading. It’s so exciting!” — Alice, age 10
That’s the magic of reading for pleasure.
When children are hooked, they read more. When they read more, their confidence grows. And when a story truly grips them, literacy skills follow naturally.
The Secrets of the Shallows is part of the award‑winning Lucy Morgan Adventure Series — real adventure, real marine science, and storytelling that keeps Upper KS2 readers turning the page.
If you’re building a culture of reading for pleasure in your classroom, this could be the series that makes it stick.

The best class readers don’t just tick curriculum boxes.
They create:
Gasps. Debates. “Can we read one more chapter?”
That’s when you know you’ve chosen well. Details in bio.

KS2 Teachers? Looking for a class reader?Lucy isn’t fearless.
She’s scared of the ocean.
But when a marine creature needs saving, she chooses courage.
Grounded in real marine science, this award‑winning KS2 adventure explores resilience, empathy and responsibility — because the right class reader doesn’t just teach facts, it helps children grow in confidence.
