The Nightkeeper’s Apprentice

When Second World War bombs start falling, twelve-year-old Eilidh Flett is evacuated to a place she?s never heard of, to live with family she?s never met. Stuck on a remote Orkney island, Eilidh?s aunt gives her just two rules: don?t touch anything that washes up on the shore, and never ever enter the island?s lighthouse.

But this seemingly dull island is full of surprises. With the help of a ghostly new friend, Eilidh begins to unravel the lighthouse?s mysteries: long-kept family secrets, a hidden order of Nightkeepers, and a darkly dangerous magic that could change the world as she knows it.

Does Eilidh have what it takes to become a Nightkeeper?s Apprentice?

This enthralling upper middle grade mystery explores destiny, loss and hope. Jude Reid?s lyrical debut children?s novel is inspired by the wild places and magical folklore of Scotland.
