Curse of the Dearmad by Emma Mylrea
4.0
The book is written in short chapters, each starting with a delightful little image that sumps up the chapter. The short chapter make this book very easy to read and the images really build an image into your mind about the characters.
Percy and Connor are both gillies, but they couldn’t be more different from each other. In his world, gillies are part of society, and they are fully integrated, albeit still a bit mysterious. Percy is strong, brave and sociable, while Connor is sickly and struggles to find his place. When the two boys
meet on the first day of school, they become friends, and this enables Connor to go swimming more and thus improve his health. Percy’s twin Nell is not a Gilly and she is envious of the and feels left out.
The adventure starts when Percy finds out about a mysterious island that could help restore his mum’s health. No one in the family would approve of Percy’s plan to swim there, but this does not stop him from going, and Connor from stealthily following. On their way there, the two boys face many dangers. Do they both make it to the island? What is Nell’s part in this adventure? Read and find out.
I did enjoy this book and I would like to read more from this author.
