Winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal.

Every summer Quill and his friends are put ashore on a remote sea stac to hunt birds. But this summer, no one arrives to take them home.

Surely nothing but the end of the world can explain why they’ve been abandoned – cold, starving and clinging to life, in the grip of a murderous ocean. How will they survive?

‘Brilliant, beautiful…as unpredictable as the sea itself’ Philip Reeve, author of The Mortal Engines

‘This is the best book I’ve read this year. Extraordinary’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars

It was really fasinating. I loved how Quill made people keeper of something to make them happy.

My overall thought on this book, was that it was hard to understand at the beginning but once you were over half way, you understood the story and a lot more of the words. My favourite character was Davie because at the beginning was innocent and very shy, but at the end his personality and passions changed completely, apart from the fact, he died half way through the book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for books based on action and adventure.
