Synopsis

#1 bestselling author Donald Morrison’s The Isle of Children is a dark fairytale of monsters, secrets, and survival, written in the haunting tradition of classic gothic horror.

When young Carlos escapes the confines of an early twentieth-century orphanage, he believes he has finally found freedom. Instead, he finds himself lost at sea, only to awaken on the shores of a strange island inhabited entirely by children.
Watching over them is a solitary figure they call Father, who warns Carlos of a monster that stalks the woods surrounding the castle at the heart of the island. But as Carlos begins to uncover the truth about the island and its children, he realizes there may be far more to fear than the creature lurking among the trees.
Together with a young girl named Isabella, Carlos must find a way off the island before they become trapped there forever—or, worse, are devoured by the island itself.
