The Ransom of Dond | Siobhan Dowd

1 post | 2 read | 5 to read

Darra is an omen of unluck: a thirteenth child. To appease the dark god, Dond, and bring good fortune to her small island community, Darra must be sacrificed at the age of thirteen - by drowning. On the eve of her final birthday, Darra begins to dream of the twin brother she has watched from afar but never met, and dares to hope that she might escape her fate . . . The scouring wind and remorseless waves which beat against Darra's island world are matched in Pam Smy's powerful, wild and emotive illustrations. The Ransom of Dond is our final story from Siobhan, and a book to be treasured.

The Ransom of Dond | Siobhan Dowd

pick

After reading A Monster Calls both my daughter and I wanted to read something by Siobhan Dowd (she had the original idea for that book). We started with this quick middle grade read, a lovely and somewhat dark fable. We‘re both looking forward to reading her other, longer, works.
