Chapter 1
The One Friend
Illustration...Jamie
Once long ago under the shallow blue sea, there was a
baby flatfish called Jamie.
Jamie didn’t really fit in that well and he was very lonely,
but he had one best friend called Stella the Starfish.
Chapter 2
The Forbidden land…
Jamie read a cool legends book.
It said that in the deeper waters there are fish with
big sharp teeth and huge fins that eat anything they
can get their mouths on!
Jamie met up with Stella and asked her “Do you want to
go on an adventure?”.
“Sure” said Stella.
Chapter 3
The Adventure…
“Come on” Jamie calls.
“I have packed fresh prawns for me and delicious
mussels for you. We need to go soon”
Jamie was scared but didn’t want to show his fear.
He was after all not a very big flatfish yet and maybe
there was a reason he was supposed to stay in the
shallow protected waters!
“ummm…Stella?
Maybe we should eat our lunch first??”
