From the critically acclaimed author of Children
of the Quicksands - shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's
Book Prize - comes a breathtaking magical adventure ...
Kuki refuses to believe in the curse of the Abiku. Her destiny
is not to die young!
Her biggest problem right now is moving house and fitting in at
her new school.
One evening while exploring, Kuki spies a driveway lined with
giant palm trees. It leads to an abandoned beach house of shadows
and scattered sea shells. And in the fading light, she meets a girl
called Enilo.
They become friends – the best of friends.
Until Kuki makes a terrifying discovery ...
