DarkIsle - Softcover

Ten-year-old Morag is being held prisoner. When a dodo and a rat accidentally rescue her, she is drawn into their dangerous and life-threatening mission to retrieve an ancient stone used to protect their northern homeland.

D A Nelson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and grew up in nearby Neilston. On leaving school she became a trainee reporter, working for various newspapers before moving into PR for the NHS. She started writing at an early age, and still has a pile of books she wrote as a child. She loves books and her favourite pasttime is sitting in a bookstore, cup of tea and muffin to hand, reading a fantastic new novel. DarkIsle was inspired by a huge stone dragon that overlooks Irvine Beach on Scotland's west coast. The sculpture (which can be clambered over) was created by Roy Fitzsimmons.
