I never know what I’m gonna get with a Printz award winner, but they’re always so unique and well written!!
Super simple summary: Based on a true story of boys in Scotland in 1727 who went out to this sheer rock of an island to capture and kill seabirds and were left there stranded for NINE MONTHS! Nothing is really known about what really happened, so this story tells us the author’s dramatization. This story follows Quilliam and other boys and 3 adults, stranded on this rock. It tells what they believe, how they create order, how they kill birds and remember home, and ultimately how they survive.
