Sky
who is sixteen, has lived alone on the island with River ever since her mother
and stepfather died and she cannot imagine any other life. They forage for food
together, curl up at night to sleep together and spend every waking hour in
each other’s company. Then, one day a boat arrives and they are taken back to
California where they were born and are separated. Broken hearted, Sky doesn’t
even try to fit into her grandmother’s life style and spends her time searching
for River. This is an absorbing and succinctly written book that keeps the
reader guessing until the final (and really sad) chapter.
