Nine orphans on an island caring for each other. When the boat comes, a new orphan will arrive but only nine can stay so the oldest orphan must get in the boat and leave. They do not know where they came from originally because they were too young and they do not know where they will be going when they leave. The stories and responsbilities get passed on. Jinny is now the oldest and must take the new orphan in her care however; that means she is next in line to leave when the boat arrives again. Will Jinny be ready to leave the only home she has ever known? This National Book Award Winner is a fantasy novel that due to a sensitive topic would be suggested for grade 6 & up.
