"Nicola Bernardelli's illustrations are suffused with light and glimmering tendrils of magic, which spin through a blushing twilight sky." Sara Keating The Irish Times "It is quite unusual to find a full fantasy adventure as a picture book. This is not a story that talks down to children in any way. The language used is rich and evocative and the atmosphere beautifully captured by the prose." Books for Topics " To the Island is the perfect book to transport your young reader to a whole new world, fuelling both imagination and curiosity." Armadillo Magazine.
