Our current Book of the Month

The Island at the Edge of Night by Lucy Strange. 

Faye Fitzgerald has done something wicked. But she’s not absolutely sure what it is. All the adults around her are in agreement, what she did was so awful she has to be sent away to somewhere where she can no longer be a danger. So Faye embarks on a journey that takes her to a remote Scottish island and to a very unusual school where the other six pupils are all children who have done something wicked - or so they have been told.

Faye and her fellow pupils soon find that this school is really not all it seems to be and, along with secret passages, concealed doorways and possible ghosts, they find out the real reasons for their banishment and imprisonment.

The Island at the Edge of the Night is a page-turner adventure where daring, courage, love and friendship keep the story moving fast and swift. There are anagrams and hidden clues, terrible villains and heroic escapades, as well as a carefully crafted underlying theme of the importance of listening and paying attention to the natural world.
