“The sight of a campfire on a distant island…proves the catalyst for a series of discoveries and events—some poignant, some frightening—that Ms. Wolk unfolds with uncommon grace.” –The Wall Street Journal
★ “Crow is a determined and dynamic heroine.” —Publishers Weekly
★ “Beautiful, evocative.” —Kirkus 

The moving story of an orphan, determined to know her own history, who discovers the true meaning of family. 

Twelve-year-old Crow has lived her entire life on a tiny, isolated piece of the starkly beautiful Elizabeth Islands in Massachusetts. Abandoned and set adrift in a small boat when she was just hours old, Crow’s only companions are Osh, the man who rescued and raised her, and Miss Maggie, their fierce and affectionate neighbor across the sandbar.

Crow has always been curious about the world around her, but it isn’t until the night a mysterious fire appears across the water that the unspoken question of her own history forms in her heart. Soon, an unstoppable chain of events is triggered, leading Crow down a path of discovery and danger.

Vivid and heart-wrenching, Lauren Wolk’s Beyond the Bright Sea is a gorgeously crafted and tensely paced tale that explores questions of identity, belonging, and the true meaning of family.

LITERALLY AMAZING!!!

Love this book so much! I will agree at first it is a tiny bit boring but after the first couple pages you will NOT be able to put it down!! My new fav book!🤍🦋🤍

What it’s about (It’s about this girl who lives on cuttyhunk (an island). And people think she has leprosy because of where they think she was born. And she washed up on the island when she was hours old and had a note and a ring on her chest. And she lives with one of the people on the island which she calls Osh and as well as her neighbor Ms Maggie. And she’s trying to find who her family is. It’s plot twist after plot twist. ITS AMAZING!!!!) There’s way more to it but I don’t wanna spoil it
