The Island at the End of Everything

Winner of the Historical Association Young Quills Award Shortlisted for the Costa Book Award Shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award Shortlisted for the FCBG Children’s Book Award Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize ‘The Island at the End of Everything is such a fiercely kind and generous book, and so finely-wrought and so full of light … brilliant.’ KATHERINE RUNDELL ‘… a beautiful, haunting tale of leprosy, lepidoptery and loyalty.’ FRANCES HARDINGE Amihan lives on Culion Island, where some of the inhabitants – including her mother – have leprosy. Ami loves her home – with its blue seas and lush forests, Culion is all she has ever known. But the arrival of malicious government official Mr Zamora changes her world forever: islanders untouched by sickness are forced to leave. Banished across the sea, she’s desperate to return, and finds a strange and fragile hope in a colony of butterflies. Can they lead her home before it’s too late?
