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.
