The Girl of Ink and Stars
(5 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Chicken House
Review
Forbidden to leave her island, Isabella Riosse dreams of the faraway lands her father once mapped. When her closest friend disappears into the island's Forgotten Territories, she volunteers to guide the search.
Following her map, her heart and an ancient myth, Isabella discovers the true end of her journey: to save the island itself. For beneath the dry rivers and smoky mountains, a fiery legend is stirring from its sleep…
The Girl of Ink and Stars is a stunning debut, full of myth, magic and mapmaking. Hargrave has created an utterly original world, complete with political intrigue and fascinating myths and beliefs.
Isabella is a fantastic heroine: brave, loyal and curious. At the heart of the adventure is the wonderful and authentic friendship between her and her missing friend, Lupe.
The Girl of Ink and Stars is completely fresh but has the feel of a classic children's book.
Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2017.
