Description

Dan Reid loves autumn on the island of Lindisfarne, when the island belongs only to its people and wild creatures. It's his favourite time of year, but also a sad one, as the seal hunters come to cull the herds.

For Dan, the seals are a source of both joy and concern. He loves their grace and inquisitiveness, but knows that they can ruin his father's fishing catch and threaten the colony's survival. As he prepares for his last full autumn on the island, secrets begin to surface.

Dan is torn between his love for his family and his secret hiding-place at Castle Point, which has become a source of trouble at school. With his sister Kate leaving for mainland school next year, Dan must navigate this difficult time alone.
