Eleven-year-old Larry Scott was an orphan -- a ward of the state. All his life he had lived in one foster home after another, with little hope of staying anywhere permanently. But now the worst had happened. He, with a group of other foster children, had been sent to an island off the Maine coast. What would he do on an island? And why did the islanders want so many children at once?

He was determined not to like his new home, but gradually he found himself being won over to the island people and their ways.
