This book is very different to a lot of her other books but is still at the same quality. Kiran knows how to organise a book and not to go of topic. The chapter name is all about what the chapter is about but written in more depth.

Home > William Pasturel, age nearly 12 - 'I quite liked this book because it was very descriptive and captured the characters personalities perfectly.' The main island in the story is named Culion which is where people at the mainland send people with leprosy. Amihan [the main character] lives with her mother whom she calls Nanay. Her mother is 'touched' and she is 'untouched' - this is there way of saying ones who have leprosy and those who don't.

This book kept your interest throughout the story and very educational. But it still felt like a novel and flowed nicely. It kept your attention. The book I read was not my type but others might enjoy it if they like nature and weird creatures that take over islands. I first looked at the blurb that was what make me take it and read it. Charlotte Cassidy, age 11 - 'I loved this book because you could actually connect with the characters, and it keeps you wanting to know more.' The island at the end of everything is a book about lepers and leprosy and a story about how a 12-year-old girl must leave her mother and go to another island for six years to be able finally to return. From the bestselling author of The Girl of Ink & Starscomes an irresistibly poetic, bittersweet and heartbreaking tale of finding your way home.

Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s tale of inspiring and selfless courage is a great starting point for a variety of KS2 activities. A message from the author: ‘At a time when the world seems to be moving deeper towards intolerance, the message that we should be together but not the same, was at the forefront of my mind when writing this book. It’s easy to label people, and labelling means reducing them to one attribute, which in turn makes it easier to dismiss, dehumanise, and persecute. In The Island at the End of Everything, it is down to Ami, and her friend Mari, to find a way home in a society that tells them they are only children, only girls, and so are not in control of their own lives. But of course, this is far from the truth.’ I would highly recommend this book to anyone who doesn't really like long books. It is a perfect book to read in one sitting. Incredibly gripping.
