![]() ![]() Along the way she discovers secrets and information about the Plaustrells’ past. Along the way, she discovers there is more beyond this merchant and what her true use is for his daughter. She gets sent away from her traditional island to live with a merchant’s daughter and be her companion. The book is about a young girl by the name Iseabail. This is a challenging read for years 5 and 6. ![]() I enjoyed finding about the history, as I travelled with the main character. There is a lot of detail, which helped me to follow the mystery. It took me a while to understand the characters and the plot. She is surrounded by secrets in her new home. She travels to an isolated Scottish mansion to look after a merchant’s daughter. It is about a girl who has to leave her home, and the boy she loves. I would definitely recommend this book for someone who like mystery, death, suspiciousness, spookiness and confusion. I will remember the most about how whenever the unicorn arrived in Scotland where the rich merchant and his daughter and servants lived everything that was frozen in early winter melted at the arrival. It was quite spooky and mysterious as well. I found the time period interesting because the people who lived on the island in the book lived in huts and it was pretty cool to read about because the roofs were made of straw. I have learned that in the past if you lived on an island home you would have a cold and harsh winter because there would be a shortage of food and water and there would not be much warmth. I disliked the wealthy merchant (who is the bad one in the story) because at the end of the book he was supposed to take Iseabail home but because his daughter had died he found her soul and put it in Iseabail’s body and put Isaebail’s soul in his daughters rotting corpse. She is interesting because she is usually very sneaky because she snuck around the castle and found some deep dark secrets. The character I found the most interesting is probably the main character Iseabail who lives on an island with her mum and younger sister Elidh. She has travelled a long way she hopes to go home to return to the life and boy she loves. Iseabail is surrounded by secrets, by things she cannot understand, in her new home. I learnt about life, including the dangers of the plague in the 16th century. ![]() One day she receives a letter from a rich merchant who wants her to leave her home to look after his motherless daughter. This is about a girl who is the only person in her remote area who can read or write. ![]()
