I happened to be in Brighton and visited the very aquarium featured in this middle-grade novel, so thought I'd read it. The story was well researched and engaging, with, refreshingly, no attempt to soften the darker aspects. But the author tried to squeeze in rather too many unrelated strands, which made it feel a bit padded out. Much better than many adult novels, though!
