Review
When Grace Delaney and seven members of her prestigious dance school are chosen to perform a long term gig on a South Pacific cruise ship, life seems wonderful.
En route to their new gig their smaller boat is met by a terrible storm and they are shipwrecked on a deserted island.
What follows is an insight into human emotions in what the publishers call Gossip Girl Meets Lost - which is fairly accurate.
With the tropical heat rising, so are the groups secrets, tensions and passions.
Mix this with voodoo and we have a totally enjoyable and engrossing teen read.
Unfortunately we are left with the discovery of a boat and a hope of rescue, but this will have to wait for Book 2. Worth the wait, I think!
Best enjoyed by 15+ readers.
This book was included in our October 2013 Secondary Standing Order selection.
