Book details
Geri Halliwell-Horner - Author
A story about bereavement, belonging and courage, combining school conflict, endangered wildlife, family mysteries and a contest that could determine the island’s future.
It's time to find your power. Suddenly orphaned and alone, Rosie Frost is sent to the mysterious Bloodstone Island--home not only to a school for extraordinary teens, but also a sanctuary for endangered species. There, Rosie confronts a menacing deputy headmaster, a group of mean kids intent on destroying her, and shocking family secrets. She also discovers that history can come to life in ways she never could have imagined. When the island itself comes under threat, Rosie knows she must enter and win the Falcon Queen games in a desperate bid to save it. But Rosie can't do it alone. She finds that believing in herself--and her friends--is the first step to finding the power she never knew she had.

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
