THE ISLAND AT THE END OF EVERYTHING has been shortlisted for not one but two awards, the Blue Peter Award for Best Story and the Costa Children’s Book Award. The Blue Peter Awards called the book, “Poetic, bittersweet and full of heart, this has the feel and quality of an instant classic” and the Costa Awards said it was, “Entirely original with not a word out of place – as vivid and beautiful as the butterflies themselves.”
