When 14-year-old May Duhane is forced to join
her father and sister for a summer on a small coastal town, she is
resentful and feels isolated. Her neighbour Leonie Beam shares
May's feelings, as she too is consumed by her own sense of
isolation. When May discovers the diary of a dead girl her own age,
the past begins to weave into the present, unraveling a mystery and
revealing destiny. Moon Island is
Rosie Thomas's poignant coming of age tale that has
the lives of two girls juxtaposed in a haunting creation of
shifting atmospheres and unpredictable fate.
