It was a seascape, moody with rocks and cliffs and wild showers of spray. Ellies own reflection was drawn into it, like a ghost image among the lights and shadows. Thats our island, Morag said. It looks mysterious. It is. Thats where were going tomorrow. Ellie is excited to be going with Morags family to their beautiful island, but when she finds herself abandoned there, things begin to change. Footsteps, shadows, strange lights, a haunting song; more and more she becomes aware that she is not really on her own.
