To The Edge Of The World by Julia Green
Jul. 1st, 2018 10:21 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Jamie lives on an island out west – a wild place of wind, waves, and surging tides. He loves the island, but fears the surrounding ocean.
Mara lives on the island too – she’s fearless. The only thing that worries her is being sent away to school. When that threat becomes too real, she knows it is time to plan her escape.
And that’s when Jamie, Mara and her dog Django find themselves swept away on a wild sea adventure beyond anything they have dreamed of …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Julia Green’s adventure story for children aged 8+ is an evocative and entertaining read that makes full use of its Hebridean location, conveys a real love of the sea and establishes the grudging friendship that forms between its two main characters in a sympathetic and believable way but I felt the relationship between Mara and her mother was underdeveloped and the ending was a little abrupt.
TO THE END OF THE WORLD was released in the United Kingdom on 5th April 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
