Shadow Island

Key Selling Points

• Set on a mysterious island, the realistic art and moody setting are sure to appeal to young readers and adults alike. Think The Goonies meets Amulet.
• Sparse text and easy-to-follow narrative make this the perfect graphic novel introduction for readers interested in something more than picture books.
• Mike Deas is well-known for illustrating the Graphic Guide Adventures series and as the illustrator for the popular Tank & Fizz series. He lives on a small island in the Pacific Northwest (Salt Spring Island).
• The perfect blend of mystery, friendship and moon creatures, the Sueño Bay Adventures series includes Shadow Island, Otter Lagoon, Hermit Hill and Candle Point , and will continue with four more books coming soon.

With nowhere left to live after losing his parents and working his way through a long list of relatives on the mainland, Ollie finds himself at his grandpa’s house in Sueño Bay, "home of the supernatural."

Miserable and intending to get away from the earthquake-prone, rain-soaked island on the next bus out of town, Ollie's getaway plans are altered abruptly when he and three classmates discover something they shouldn't have in a trailer in the woods.

The four unlikely friends come together in a mystery involving supernatural creatures, a ticking clock and one angry gym teacher to save themselves, the creatures and Sueño Bay from a darkness that is infecting the island. If they succeed, will Ollie finally find a place to call home?
