The Runaways on Shadowskerry (2013)

Author: Sigrun Eldjarn

A war has started between the villages of Austurhlid and Vesturhlid and the adults are all behaving very strangely.
That’s why Lina and Hringur decide to run away from home on Happadisin, their homemade boat. Their destination is Shadowskerry – the creepy island out by the horizon.
