How to Sail Somewhere

Summer is when Bea’s favourite person in the entire world, her fun and hilarious uncle, Byron, comes to stay in her tiny fishing village. On their last day together the previous summer, Byron had given Bea an intriguing antique book containing a map of Somewhere, a mysterious island off the coast, and promised that next summer they’d sail to Somewhere together.
That was last year. Now summer has arrived, but Byron hasn’t. And it looks like he never will. Are the book and Byron’s disappearance linked? Byron has left some clues for Bea – a scavenger hunt of sorts designed to bring her and her new friend, Arabella, together and give Bea one last magical summer. Could Somewhere hold the key to both Bea’s and Arabella’s future?
