This story was odd. Nine children on an island, each delivered alone by a self-guided boat out of nowhere, one child a year. The oldest on the island leaves in the return trip of the boat, and the cycle continues. The island is perfect and the nine children are self-sufficient and happy. But things change when one Elder refuses to leave when it is her time. For the entire book, I was looking for backstory. I wanted a revelation. I wanted explanations as to where the island came from. I did not get it. I imagine there will be a sequel. I will not read it. (FIC SNY)
