Product Description

Synopsis
When Gray retrieves an engraved narwhal's tusk from the sea disturbing changes begin to happen to both marine and bird life. The islanders suspect Gray's unusual powers of being able to communicate with seals and other creatures as the cause of the unrest. They find the tusk he has hidden away and fear that an ancient prophecy threatening the island will come to pass since they have always considered the narwhal as an omen of disaster. Gray finds himself a victim of a confused and complex web of superstition as the islanders decide a ritual sacrifice must be made. How can he prove his innocence and escape their final condemnation of him? Narwhal was shortlisted for the Cinnamon Press Awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Narwhal an exciting story for young teens, 16 April 2008
By A. Munro (England) - See all my reviews
Gray has to deal with many problems in his adolescent life. He has always been an outsider to the Scilly islanders and must learn to face up to their hostility and superstitious attitudes when he finds a narwhal's tusk. He battles against loneliness, alienation and fear whilst trying to solve his problems. Relationships become a challenge and even the sea seems to rise up against him as he battles to become master of his fate. An absorbing story which carries you along with the well drawn characters. The images of the Scilly Isles and life on one of its offshore islands, the savage intensity of the elements, all enhance the atmosphere of this 'rites of passage' story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong blend of adventure and supernatural, 14 Mar 2008
By Ms. A. Brooke "Anne Brooke" (Godalming, Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very exciting tale and a strong blend of mystery, adventure and the supernatural. I particularly loved the central character, Gray, and the tensions arising from his conflict with fellow-islanders. A thrilling read for any young adult, and indeed for all ages!
