2018年卡内基奖获奖图书。

每年夏天，Quill和他的朋友们都会被带到一处偏远的海蚀柱上捕鸟。但今年夏天，没人来带他们回家。

当然，只有世界末日才能解释他们为何被抛弃——在凶残的的海洋的控制之下，又冷又饿、命悬一线的他们将如何生存？

Winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2018.

Every summer Quill and his friends are put ashore on a remote sea stac to hunt birds. But this summer, no one arrives to take them home.

Surely nothing but the end of the world can explain why they've been abandoned - cold, starving and clinging to life, in the grip of a murderous ocean. How will they survive?
