Summary:
Jacob Portman is a young boy who suffers a traumatic event when his grandfather dies. Before the death of his grandfather, his grandfather Abraham told Jacob stories about an Island where he lived during World War II, the island was full of peculiar children. Jacob doubts his grandfather's stories until he himself visits the Island of Cairn in Wales.

Opinion:
I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting mix of part fairy tale, part intrigue, part science fiction, part fantasy. The mix worked very well. I couldn't put the book down and I'm actually hoping that the way the book ended this is actually going to turn into a series, but I am unsure if that's the author's intention.

The snapshots were a great touch to the story, they were enchanting and strange, I'm glad the author spent so much time searching for them, they add an extra charm to this book.

Why I chose to read this:
Danielle from my job showed this to me so I took a chance on her suggestion to read it, glad I did.
