What to expect
Skylar's old friends felt sorry for her but they were too afraid to talk to her.
Yakov's old friends were far away, blown across continents by war . . .
When Skylar meets Yakov she is still reeling from the news of her grandfather's stroke. Yakov is just desperate to go home. They recognise something in each other: a need for friendship, but something else fizzy beneath the surface. A refusal to accept what life has dealt them; a reckless desire to change things up for the better.
So when there's a competition to own nearby Golden Island, it's no surprise they want it.
But how can two children possibly win an island? And what will they risk to call it their own?
Exquisitely told, with compassion and empathy: an unmissable, life-affirming story from the inimitable Natasha Farrant.
