Welcome to Litsy!

This #YANovel is set on a Scottish “ghost island” (meaning it‘s not on original maps), & opens with Fraser, his mute brother & newcomer Hayley, being thrust together on a stormy night— that in the morning washes up a dead whale & then a dead body not long after! Though predictable, I enjoyed the magic of the whales enough to overcome some of the mixed messages & unrealistic dialogue & characters. Fun audio performance with a great accent!

I read this book for a global reading challenge. I was deeply moved. Some parts were rough/odd, but by the end of the book, there is that sweet redemption and apology for jaded/hardened ways. I didn‘t expect to, but I cried and cried by the end. Beautiful visuals and connections with the ocean and spirits. I didn‘t like all of it but I am definitely glad to have read it. A beach read for me this week.

New year, new chapter. I love this new bookmark featuring “Meowby Dick”. My son bought this package of monthly bookmarks.
