Ten year old Isla has moved from Edinburgh to the Orkney Islands in North Scotland, with her parents, to start a new life after the sad loss of her brother.
Isla is finding life in the Orkneys hard, especially with her dual heritage.
But Isla finds the stories about Selkies, an ancient Orcadian legend, which shows them as half human and half seal.
This is the start of her journey of recovery.
Corey’s Rock is a beautiful book in a really appealing shape and format. The superb illustrations on every page are a joy to uncover and real depth and warmth to this deeply moving story.
