Down in Schull there is a world
Where magic, and mischief, and adventure, unfurls
Kids and grownups flock to the sea
For holidays and mystery
And in the ocean’s mighty stream
Some see reflections, but Sam sees his dream
Sam Sharkey is quite a character. A shark raised by a human daddy, he spends his days in the quiet seaside town of Schull, surrounded by his family and friends, and motivated by his dream. You see, Sam is no ordinary shark, he dreams of being the world’s first shark detective. With a heart as big as the ocean, Sam is about to set out to make his dream a reality.
