Where the World Ends by Geraldine McCaughrean

In the summer of 1727 a group of men and boys, there to harvest birds and eggs, were stranded on Warrior Stac, a pinnacle of rock that pitches out of the Atlantic, ‘as black and fearful as one horn of the Devil himself’. It was nine months before anyone came to collect them.  Geraldine McCaughrean has taken these bare facts and imagined the story of those terrible months and the characters of those who endured them.
