Story Outline:

STORY 9 finds the Flitlits on a sunlit day setting off for Hot Plot Bay.

A troop arrive close to the shore that they had never met before.

Could they pass for dreamy genies with no sun cream or bikinis?

Will they aim to work on tests, like chess champions at their best?

Perhaps they could be meddling Geniuses from the island Buttinbiz.

Story Opening:

The Flitlits met up one fine day to take a trip to Hot Plot Bay.

Scuba Salt sat on Shock Rocks.

He felt them rumble, shake, and knock.

Scuba's home stands at Hot Plot, close to boats and lobster pots.

His folk, like all Salt folk before, have always lived close to the shore.

About the Author

Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators, and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots.Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher, and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
