Item description from seller
A gripping adventure for young adult readers. The inhabitants of Halcyon Island are ruled by the laws of the Deliverer and follow the same customs and traditions that have prevailed for hundreds of years. The laws state 'no incomers', but when Thomas and Molly find a shipwrecked canoe with a boy and girl, barely alive, they are determined not to reject them outright. But the effect that the newcomers have on the close-knit community is beyond anyone's predictions. Pages just beginning to fox. 192 pages.
