This is the fifth book to star little Molly and her island family and it’s a lovely story of friendship and community. Molly is fishing with her father when they come across a boat in trouble. They save those on board and make their new friends welcome, fixing up one of the island’s empty cottages for them. There’s a girl Molly’s age and Molly is very keen to enrol her at the island’s school, which is certainly in need of extra pupils. Will the authorities allow the family to stay though, and will Molly’s friend ever be reunited with her father, who is making the same dangerous journey she did?
In the hands of this author-illustrator duo, a serious issue is turned into a form that even the very young will understand, emphasising human values of compassion and kindness, and demonstrating how there is room for all of us to live happily together. As always, Molly’s island looks very enticing and the scenes at sea are full of drama.
