The Island That Wasn't Empty, (Paperback)

<p><b>Some islands are empty.<br>Some are hiding something.</b></p><p>When sixteen-year-old Elyse sets sail with her father along the quiet coastline of Harrow Bay, the trip is supposed to be simple-wind, water, and time together on the sea.</p><p>Then their boat runs aground near an island that doesn't appear on any chart.</p><p>At first it seems like bad luck. A damaged hull. A long night waiting for the tide.</p><p>But the island isn't empty.</p><p>Hidden in the trees is a structure that shouldn't exist. The currents around the island move in strange patterns. And during the night, someone comes ashore and quietly sabotages their boat.</p><p>When Elyse and her family return home, the message becomes clear: </p><p><b>Stay silent. Walk away. Forget what you saw.</b></p><p>But Elyse has her grandfather's sailing journal, a sharp instinct for the sea, and the growing suspicion that whatever is hidden offshore is bigger than a single secret station.</p><p>As pressure builds and the truth begins to surface, Elyse and her family must decide whether to let the ocean keep its secrets...</p><p>-or bring them into the light.</p><p><i>A gripping coastal mystery about courage, family, and what happens when ordinary people refuse to stay quiet.</i></p>
