'A book to remember for years . . . truthful and moving' - Jacqueline Wilson
“Imagine if we could see the magic of the island up close…”
Tosh’s life feels nearly perfect - helping her mum and dad on the farm, playing make-believe with her best friend.
She doesn’t want anything to change.
But when she has a dangerous fall, Tosh can no longer keep her painful secrete: her whole body hurts, all the time, and no one can tell her why. . .
Inspired by real-life experiences, a journey to Tosh’s Island is one you will never forget.

Some of the things that have happened to the “real” Tosh:
Picking flowers one summer in Finland, Sussex University for two degrees, teaching, learning, writing, telling stories, reading, selling ice creams and setting up a bookstall in a theatre. Learning to drive in a blue Mini named Mabel. Oh, and once sharing a lift with a Beefeater at a conference in the Tower of London…
And lots more, but most of all, talking and listening and sharing, having fun with the many friends along the way…
