A hopeful and moving coming-of-age story set on the island of
Lindisfarne, by David Almond, author of the bestselling Skellig and
A Song for Ella Grey: now with fantastic illustrations by the
award-winning David Litchfield. Louise has travelled with her
father to the island of Lindisfarne every year ever since she can
remember - it's the place Louise's mother loved best of all. The
arrival of Hassan from war-torn Syria changes everything. Louise is
restless and yearning for independence; meanwhile, the fiercely
free and self-reliant Hassan seems to know the island from long ago
as if it were his home from birth. Hassan is an acrobat, maybe a
sorcerer, possibly a source of great danger. The wild boys who call
the island their home want to cast him out. The forces of love,
death and hope move Louise and Hassan together. Lindisfarne will
change their lives forever. David Almond is the author of many
beloved and prize-winning books for children and teenagers. His
best known work, Skellig, won the Whitbread Children's Award and
the Carnegie Medal and was made into a feature-length film. A Song
for Ella Grey, a beautiful retelling of the myth of Orpheus, won
the Guardian Children's Book Prize 2015.
