| | Synopsis
|
Nine orphans, aged 4-12, live on a deserted island without any adult
presence. Each year a new child arrives on an unmanned boat and the
eldest child leaves on the same boat. The children live by a set of
unwritten rules and the eldest teaches the youngest about survival and
life on the island. One year, the eldest child decides not to leave
and life on the island becomes mysteriously difficult and dangerous.
This engaging novel focuses on teamwork, societal responsibility, and
dealing with conflict, and lends itself to a read-aloud, independent,
small group, or full class novel. Social considerations noted;
emotions and unanswered questions may haunt some readers.
