Product description
An exciting tale of friendship and adventure from a much-loved author. Gracie and Daniel have been warned to stay away from the Birdman and his side of the island. But one day they find a mysterious message in the sand, and realise that the Birdman is not who they thought. Before long, they build up a firm friendship with him. But should they believe the Birdman’s story that the island is cursed? Set on a remote island against the backdrop of World War I, this story will enchant young readers.

on 6 March 2014It was pretty boring about a girl and a boy. The only exciting bit was the birdman.

on 7 March 2013Two siblings, gracie and daniel, in a village are told to keep away from the crazy bird man. But they go out to sail a boat and they find a message in the sand and they become friends with the birdman. But then the whales come! I would recommend as an age rating for the book 9-12

on 9 June 2011I knew i was gong to like this book form the star but we had to reed surtan chapters each week because we were reading as a group and had to answer qustions but the tike is a bit pointless because it say’s Why the Whales came but the Whales don’y come to the end of the book and are only in about 4 chapters but other than that it was still great
