Orphan Island

What’s it about?

Orphan Island by Laurel Synder takes place on an island where everything is perfect. And only one thing ever changes: on that day, each year, when a boat appears from the mist upon the ocean carrying one young child to join them - and taking the eldest one away, never to be seen again.

Be ready to discuss and write about your books when

you enter your 6th grade ELA class in the fall.
