In "Orphan Island" by Laurel Snyder, a group of children live on a mysterious island where they are happy and carefree, but governed by a peculiar rule: each year, a new child arrives, and the eldest must leave. The story follows 12-year-old Jinny, who grapples with the complexities of growing up and the inevitability of change when a new child appears and the stability of their idyllic life is threatened. As Jinny and her friends navigate their relationships and confront their fears, they learn valuable lessons about love, loss, and the responsibilities that come with growing up.
