Corey’s Rock

by Sita Brahmachari

Ten-year-old Isla has left Edinburgh behind, moving with her parents to the remote Orkney Islands after the heartbreaking loss of her younger brother. Caught between her African and Orcadian heritage, and between grief and change, Isla struggles to feel at home in this unfamiliar world.

But when she discovers the ancient legend of the selkies—mysterious beings who are part human, part seal—Isla begins to find a path toward healing, belonging, and hope.
