The Turnaway Girls
Author: Hayley Chewins
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 10+
On the storm-battered island of Blightsend, twelve-year-old Delphernia Undersea has spent her whole life shut away in a cloister of turnaway girls, hidden beneath a dome of stone. Outside, the Masters make music; inside, the girls silently spin that music into gold.
But Delphernia would rather sing than stay silent. When an unusual Master arrives at the skydoor, she seizes the chance to leave, only to find herself caught between the island's sinister Custodian and its mysterious Childer-Queen, in a shimmering debut where the freedom to sing, to change and to live is what's at stake.
