Where the World Ends

Produktbeschreibung

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? 

Kritik

It's a rare book that can transport us back into the rapture of childhood reading, but this is one. The Guardian
