She combines a page-turning narrative and a startlingly original voice with the creation and subversion of myths. ON AN ISLAND OFF THE EDGE OF THE MAP, BOYS ARE DISAPPEARING The day the tall men come from the mainland to trade, Mary's little brother goes missing. She needs to find him. She needs to know a secret that no-one else can tell her.
