A beautifully written book, The Island at the End of Everything is a wonderful story.

Ami lives with her mother on the beautiful island of Culion.

Despite its stunning scenery, no one ever visits.

For this is the island at the end of everything.

An island for those who are ‘touched’ by leprosy.

When Ami is forced to leave her mother behind and sail to nearby Coron, she knows that she may never see her again.

When threatened with the workhouse, Ami decides to escape and make her way back to her mother, despite the perilous journey that lies ahead.

The Island at the End of Everything not only showcases Hargrave’s talent for story writing, but also her vivid descriptions.

Ami’s love for her mother shines through this story like the flame of a burning candle.

Not even the evil Mr Zamora can extinguish it, no matter how hard he tries.

It’s the love for her mother and her hatred of Mr Zamora that pushes Ami forward and keeps the story moving at a wonderful pace.

I admire authors who can move you to tears with their prose.

Carefully chosen words, beautifully woven together, describe the most poignant parts of this story.

I can visualise the silence in a classroom as the story reaches its climax, all eyes on the storyteller, all ears straining to hear every detail.

This book is highly ed to Year 6 teachers and to people who simply love a well-told story.

My second book from Kiran Millwood Hargrave.

After The Girl of Ink and Stars, story I loved, I wanted to try another of her book.

With this one, I was not disappointed at all.

The story is great, beautiful, moving.

It gives lots of feelings.

A children's book, definitely also for adult.

I read this book to my class and it is a wonderful read.

It was slow going at first, and I had to explain a bit if background but they were soon hooked.

A really good read for tackling wider social issues and having discussions about morality.

Great for 11-14..
