An equally great sequel to Orphans of the Tide。Ellie and Seth find themselves a new home on an island ruled by a mysterious queen。Our heroes quickly get involved in trying to save the island from starvation with absolutely loads of adventures along the way。Some familiar characters and some cracking new ones (Molworth, the boy innkeeper, is inspired)Light, dark, good, evil, jealousy, friendship, heartache, joy - all there to get our teeth into。More please - quickly!

I have NOTHING to say but oh my goodness。 This is absolutely phenomenal。 Just let me pick my jaw up off the floor good。 THAT ENDING。 Seth! Ellie! The new friends! The sea! So many unanswered questions; so much I need to know。 This is jam-packed brilliance。 So many twists and turns。 So many new friends and old nemeses coming to join the party。 I totally didn’t see this going the way it did。 There’s very much a ‘two sides of coin’ going on here and I loved every second of it。 I do NOT want to have I have NOTHING to say but oh my goodness。 This is absolutely phenomenal。 Just let me pick my jaw up off the floor good。 THAT ENDING。 Seth!

Often, when the first book in a series is so mindblowingly amazing, I worry that any subsequent books won’t live up to the hype。 However, with Shipwreck Island such worries are not necessary。 JUST as gripping as Orphans of the Tide, this book is the definition of ‘unputdownable’。 With so many unpredictable twists and turns, this book will have you gripped to the very end! Struan Murray is an incredibly talented author, and his ability to get the reader hooked from the very first page is inspirat Often, when the first book in a series is so mindblowingly amazing, I worry that any subsequent books won’t live up to the hype。 However, with Shipwreck Island such worries are not necessary。 JUST as gripping as Orphans of the Tide, this book is the definition of ‘unputdownable’。 With so many unpredictable twists and turns, this book will have you gripped to the very end!

I was so looking forward to this - the sequel to the brilliant Orphans of the Tide, and it did not disappoint!It was great to be with Ellie and Seth again, catching up after the events of book 1。 They have now arrived at Shipwreck Island and are trying to make a life for themselves。 I like the way the book is written, with letters interspersed with the chapters, giving some background to Seth's origins。There were also some great new character additions, including Viola and Molworth。And, that end I was so looking forward to this - the sequel to the brilliant Orphans of the Tide, and it did not disappoint!It was great to be with Ellie and Seth again, catching up after the events of book 1。 They have now arrived at Shipwreck Island and are trying to make a life for themselves。 I like the way the book is written, with letters interspersed with the chapters, giving some background to Seth's origins。There were also some great new character additions, including Viola and Molworth。And, that ending!!

Dan: OH MY GOOD GOD! If you thought Orphan's of the Tide was good, then you are in for REAL treat with the next installment! For Year 6+ and with similar strengths as the first book, the character exploration and development are excellent here, along with the air of menace permeating everything。 There are certainly moments of sweetness, light, and humour, but there are also moments of darkness that were certainly creepy and slightly scary。 There are characters to love and to hate and the plot wh Dan: OH MY GOOD GOD!

Meeting the exceedingly high expectations created with the first in the series, Orphans of the Tide, must have been quite the task, but the genius that is Struan Murray has done just that with Shipwreck Island。Ellie and Seth have escaped the City and find themselves on Shipwreck Island, ruled over by a beloved Queen, a Vessel herself。 With a new cast of quirky characters, including Molworth the 12-year-old innkeeper and Viola, a fisherman's daughter, Ellie and Seth must help Kate feed the hungry Meeting the exceedingly high expectations created with the first in the series, Orphans of the Tide, must have been quite the task, but the genius that is Struan Murray has done just that with Shipwreck Island。Ellie and Seth have escaped the City and find themselves on Shipwreck Island, ruled over by a beloved Queen, a Vessel herself。 With a new cast of quirky characters, including Molworth the 12-year-old innkeeper and Viola, a fisherman's daughter, Ellie and Seth must help Kate feed the hungry people of the island。 Twists and turns abound in this glorious sequel, full of heart and emotion as well as some of Ellie's marvelous inventions。 Struan Murray has done it again, and fans of the first will not be disappointed。 。。。more
