The Island at the End of Everything

by Kiran Millwood Hargrave   |  Ages 11+
The Island at the End of Everything
The Island at the End of Everything

Heartrending journey, hope amidst loss and exile.

"The Island at the End of Everything" weaves a poignant narrative told through the eyes of young Amihan. You'll be drawn into the lush, vibrant world of Culion Island, feeling the deep bond between Ami and her mother, and the stinging pain of separation. It's more than just a young girl's quest; it's a story about the tenacity of hope, even in the direst circumstances, and a testament to the enduring power of love. This book could resonate with anyone who's ever sought their way back home or believed in the subtle magic of nature as a guiding force.

Description

Shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards and the Blue Peter Book Awards 2017. From the author of the bestselling tale The Girl of Ink & Stars comes a beautiful new adventure about finding your way home. There are some places you would not want to go. Even if I told you that we have oceans filled with sea turtles and dolphins, or forests lush with parrots that call through air thick with warmth... Nobody comes here because they want to. The island of no return. Ami lives with her mother on an island where the sea is as blue as the sky. It’s all she knows and loves, but the arrival of malicious government official Mr Zamora changes her world forever: her island is to be made into a colony for lepers. Taken from her mother and banished across the sea, Ami faces an uncertain future in an orphanage. There she meets a honey-eyed girl named for butterflies, and together they discover a secret that will lead her on an adventure home. Ami must go back to the island of no return, but will she make it in time?
