The Island That Wasn't There
A mermaid to calm down, a mysterious island to find
and a terrible curse to stop . . .
His one eye was green, like the smooth glass pebbles you find on the shore. It stared at us without blinking. And his empty socket seemed to stare too, like there was a hidden eye in it.
I screamed. I didn’t mean to – it just burst out with the shock of it.
Rosie and her friends are fascinated and terrified by Yan Eye – an old man who’s a stranger to their town and barely says a word. But when Rosie needs help, Yan Eye is the only one who will believe her.
She finds herself in a boat with him, rowing towards an island in the middle of the ocean . . . an island that wasn’t there before . . .
A mysterious, beautifully told story by a wonderful new author.
