Ilustration To Books Orphan Island

A National Book Award Longlist title!

"A wondrous book, wise and wild and deeply true." —Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon

"This is one of those books that haunts you long after you read it. Thought-provoking and magical." —Rick Riordan, RickRiordan.com



In the tradition of modern-day classics like Sara Pennypacker's Pax and Lois Lowry's The Giver comes a deep, compelling, heartbreaking, and completely one-of-a-kind novel about nine children who live on a mysterious island.

On the island, everything is perfect. The sun rises in a sky filled with dancing shapes; the wind, water, and trees shelter and protect those who live there; when the nine children go to sleep in their cabins, it is with full stomachs and joy in their hearts. And only one thing ever changes: on that day, each year, when a boat appears from the mist upon the ocean carrying one young child to join them—and taking the eldest one away, never to be seen again.

Today’s Changing is no different. The boat arrives, taking away Jinny’s best friend, Deen, replacing him with a new little girl named Ess, and leaving Jinny as the new Elder. Jinny knows her responsibility now—to teach Ess everything she needs to know about the island, to keep things as they’ve always been. But will she be ready for the inevitable day when the boat will come back—and take her away forever from the only home she’s known?

Write Up Based On Books Orphan Island

Please oh please let there be a sequel!For people who scoff at adults who read and study children's literature because it isn't literary enough, this is one of the first books I will point them to. There are so many unanswered questions in this book and important themes that will lead to quality discussions with students. This would be a fantastic story for book clubs or literature circles.

Note: I hid this review not because of spoilers, but because I don't want to bias any children (actual target audience) against this book. I know I liked pretty much every book I read growing up (hard to believe) and the last thing I want to do is create any cynicism in people who are too young for it.---------wow.um.this book...was catastrophically annoying.like, i cannot even put into words how much i hate the main character. i wanted to throttle her. every single second spent within the

Happened to pick up Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder on a whim. Looked interesting I thought. It was long listed for goodness sake. I hardly ever do this but I am trying to give it a star. The premise of the book is simple. There are nine kids on an island. A boat delivers a kid, (a care), to the island every year. The oldest kid, (the elder), is responsible to teach the "care" important survival skills for a year, like swimming -- they are on an island -- and reading. The kids range from age 4

Nine children reside on Orphan Island. On the day of the Changing, a green boat arrives to deliver a new child and whisk the eldest child away never to be seen again. Jinny, now the eldest after her best friends departure, is tasked with raising the newest delivery, known as her Care. The next time the boat arrives, Jinny will have to leave the island forever. Can she teach her Care everything she needs to know in time? And when the boat arrives, will Jinny have the courage to face the unknown?

We thought this was going to be a 5 star for us. Such a great idea for a story. Nine orphans on an island, they arrive roughly a year apart and first arrive as toddlers. When a toddler arrives in a boat the Elder gets in and the boat takes them away. Nobody remembers before or knows what happens after. Each year the oldest orphan becomes the Elder and the new arrival becomes the Care. Everything is safe on the island they have what they need, if they fall of a cliff the wind is there to blow

I don't really understand how this book is so good. It feels like the author somehow managed to subvert my mind in its opinions of what makes a page-turner, what makes for good emotional investment, what makes something compelling or beautiful or fun or terrifying or sad or happy or simple or complex.Snyder has managed to mold not only a stunning gem of a story, but also her readers' minds, as we follow Jinny's progression from stubborn certainty to uneasy uncertainty. In her story, we can see

This is one of those books that haunts you long after you read it. The premise is simple enough: A mysterious island with exactly nine inhabitants, all children. Every year or so, a self-piloting boat appears out of the strange fog that encircles the island. The boat drops off a new young child so young he/she only has the vaguest idea of where he/she comes from and the oldest child in the group gets in the boat and sails away forever, going to . . . whatever is beyond the mist.
