Green, Julia,
To the edge of the world / Julia Green. - 226 pages ; 20 cm.
A beautifully written tale of courage, friendship, and survival. Jamie had thought that if he could just reach the boat then he could convince Mara to stay, but now he was on board and along for the ride. There was no going back, they were in this together - sailing to the islands at the edge of the world. Imagine a tiny island far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Scotland. On some days, you can hardly see where the sea ends and the land begins, everything merged in a blue-grey mist of sea spray and wind-blown sand. There is nothing between here and America. I say nothing, but what I mean, of course, is nothing but ocean. And about 65 km out to sea, one last remote outcrop of islands and sea stacks, with the highest sea cliffs anywhere in the UK, St Kilda. Distant, desolate, and difficult to reach. The islands at the edge of the world.
