of Michael Morpurgo, Lee Gibbons (Illustrator)

Gracie and her friend Daniel have always been warned to stay away from the Birdman and his side of the island. But then they find a message in the sand and discover the Birdman is not who they thought. They build up a lovely friendship with him, but when the children get stranded on Samson Island they donât know whether to believe the birdmanâs story that the island is cursed.
