A beautifully written tale of courage, friendship, and survival. Imagine a tiny island far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Scotland. On some days, you can hardly see where the sea ends and the land begins, everything merged in a blue-grey mist of sea spray and wind-blown sand. There is nothing between here and America. I say nothing, but what I mean, of course, is nothing but ocean. And about sixty-five kilometres out to sea, one last remote outcrop of islands and sea stacks, with the highest sea cliffs anywhere in the UK-St Kilda. Distant, desolate, and difficult to reach. The islands at the edge of the world . . .

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER HE NICKNACK ON THE ICE Janet Martin did not know what to do. In fact, a girl much older than Ted's sister would have been puzzled to know how to stop the little boy on his runaway sled front going across the railroad tracks. Of course he might get across before the train came, but there was danger. "Oh, dear " cried Jan.

"Oh, what will happen to him?" wailed Janet, and tears came into her eyes. As soon as she had shed them she was sorry, for it is not very comfortable to cry wet, watery, salty tears in freezing weather. "What is the matter, Curlytop?" asked a bigger girl of Jan.

"He 11 be hurt We never go on that hill " The big girl looked down at Ted. He was quite far away now, but he could easily be seen. "Maybe hell stop in time," said the big girl. "Oh, look " she cried suddenly. "He's steered into a snow bank a...
