Island

by Nicky Singer, illustrated by Chris Riddell - £6.99  Caboodle Books Limited (2015)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780992938963 | ISBN 10: 0992938961

No one’s an island, Cameron. You, your parents, London, Qikiqtaruk, the whales, the guillemots, the living, the dead. We’re all connected. If one moves we all move.
 
Urban teenager Cameron arrives on an uninhabited arctic island. He is prepared for ice and storms and (stripped of his smart technology) possibly boredom. He is not prepared for 24 hour daylight and erupting graves. At first Cameron believes the explanations of his research scientist mother. But – as the island reveals itself to him – he begins to see (and hear) things which push him towards a very different reality. One of them is an Inuit girl. The other is a large white bear.
 
Illustrated by Chris Riddell - who has asked that any proceeds due to him to be donated to Greenpeace.
