Where the world ends
(Book)

Originally published in the United Kingdom by Usborne Publishing Ltd in 2017.

Includes afterword about the history of St. Kilda, list of the birds of St. Kilda, and glossary.

Every time a lad came fowling on the stacs, he went home less of a boy and more of a man. (If he went home at all, that is.) Every summer, Quill and his friends are put ashore on a remote sea stac to hunt birds. But this summer, no one arrives to take them home. Surely nothing but the end of the world can explain why they've been abandoned - cold, starving, and clinging to life in the grip of a murderous ocean. How will they survive such a forsaken place of stone and sea? Geraldine McCaughrean's first young-adult novel since the Michael L. Printz Award-winning The White Darkness is an extraordinary story of fortitude, endurance, tragedy, and survival, set against an unforgettable backdrop of savage beauty. --,From dust jacket.
