Lost Children Of The Far Islands (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The inside was in complete contrast to the simple brown cover. Color seemed to leap off the page and flood the room. The Book of the Folk was written on the first page in a thick, glowing gold script that blazed against a vivid blue background like rays of sun lighting a morning sky. Dark green vines twined around the letters, with bright orange poppy-like flowers bursting out against the green. The vines reached down below the letters to meet a navy sea splashed here and there with frothy white breakers. The flowers moved on the vines, as though in a gentle wind, bowing and bending toward the sea. And wherever one of the blooms touched the surface of the sea, it disappeared and was replaced with the sleek, dark-eyed head of a seal. “It’s beautiful,” Gus whispered, her fear forgotten. She reached out to touch the picture, but Leo was already turning the page. The book told the story of the Folk. Leo and Gus read about their coming, so long ago now that the time was lost to history.
