Review

★"Through the precocious Jinny, Snyder delivers a contemplative commentary on the transition from childhood to adolescence, and from ignorance to awareness."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Laurel Snyder has written a story that curls around the heart and pulls in tight--a meditation on the power and wisdom and closeness and sorrow of childhood. A wondrous book, wise and wild and deeply true. I loved every second of it."--Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon

"Orphan Island is a masterpiece--both timeless and immediate. Snyder's book, like the island within it, contains all of the joys, wonders, and terrors of childhood. Every young reader needs this book; every grown reader needs it even more."--Jonathan Auxier, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Gardener

This charming, engrossing tale set in a vividly realized world is expertly paced and will appeal to fans of wilderness adventure stories and character-driven relationship novels alike.--Kirkus Reviews
在岛上，一切都很完美。太阳从天空升起，天空中充满了舞动的身影;风、水和树木庇护和保护住在那里的人;当9个孩子在他们的小木屋里睡觉时，他们的肚子饱了，心里充满了喜悦。

只有一件事是永远不会改变的:每年的那一天，当一艘小船从海上的薄雾中出现，载着一个小孩子加入他们的行列，并带走了大的一个，从此再也没有出现过。

今天的变化也没有什么不同。小船来了，带走了金尼好朋友迪恩，取而代之的是一个名叫埃斯的小女孩，而金尼则成了新的长辈。金尼现在知道她的责任了——把她需要知道的关于这个岛的一切都教给她，让事情保持原样。
