“The
Birdman puts spells on people. We mustn’t talk to him. We’re not
supposed to.”
Gracie
and Daniel have been warned to stay away from the mad Birdman- but
the message in the sand tells them that the Birdman isn’t what he
seems.
Then they get lost in the fog and stranded on Samson Island. Should they believe the Birdman’s story that the island is cursed?

I felt great sympathy
for the Birdman who is distrusted and reviled by the island people.
The novel taught me much about not judging people by first
impressions. Gracie and Daniel's experience on Samson island is
extremely harrowing for the reader and has the feel of a ghostly
tale. Thankfully this helps them to find the truth behind the curse
and they must then desperately try to use the answer to aid them when
the curse threatens to cast its shadow over Bryher as well.
