Erin, January and Mouse live in a children's home, Whitegates. They
often dream of escape, and frequently journey into the outside
world. Running away is something they know all about. But this time
January builds a raft, and the three of them head precariously down
river. Towards the Black Middens. This time they might never come
back. When they stumble across a disused factory and its strange
inhabitants - Grampa and Heaven Eyes - they wonder if they'll even
have the choice. Heaven Eyes is the girl who should have drowned at
sea. The mysterious girl desperately searching for her family,
hoping that these three might be the family she has lost. She has a
secret history only Grampa knows. And does he trust these three
invaders enough to tell them? Erin feels a sisterly responsibility
for Heaven Eyes, Mouse longs to belong anywhere and anyhow, but
January thinks Grampa's a murderer. Whatever happens, all three
have a part to play. . . A stunning novel from the author of the
modern children's classic Skellig - winner of the Carnegie Medal
and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. David Almond is also
winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
