 " Dear Mr Murdoch,
You might recall me writing..."  

Emily Tate is fourteen years old and yearns to become a business tycoon. Her problem is that she lives on a remote island over-run by seals, albatrosses and her own eccentric family - who pulp seaweed for a living and refuse to listen to any kind of business advice, let alone hers. So she keeps writing to Rupert Murdoch asking to be adopted

But when Emily unexpectedly finds herself in control of the family firm she discovers that life as a kelp magnate has a serious downside.

Kelp is a  touching and hilarious 'coming of age' comedy in the tradition of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole.  A delight for young adults - and their parents.
