Leaving is not the same as losing.
The ferry comes on a Wednesday. It always comes on a Wednesday.
But this Wednesday is different. This is the day Seru leaves his island for good. The whole village gathers on the jetty to say goodbye - every family, every friend, and his grandmother, standing quietly apart, pressing two fingers to her heart.
As the boat pulls away and the island shrinks to a green shape on the horizon, Seru learns the hardest and most hopeful lesson of all: the things you love don't disappear just because you can't see them anymore.
A moving story about farewells, family, and carrying home with you wherever you go.
Book Four of the Seru From the Sea series - Ages 8-11
