A dramatic and moving story set in the same world as the international
bestseller The Island from the celebrated novelist Victoria Hislop.
The absorbing story of the Cretan village of Plaka and the tiny,
deserted island of Spinalonga – Greece's former leper colony – is told
to us by Maria Petrakis, one of the children in the original version of
The Island. She tells us of the ancient and misunderstood disease of
leprosy, exploring the themes of stigma, shame and the treatment of
those who are different, which are as relevant for children as adults.
Gill Smith's rich, full-colour illustrations will transport the reader
to the timeless and beautiful Greek landscape and Mediterranean
seascape.
