A visually stunning, empowering graphic novel about friendship, imagination and chronic illness – inspired by Linda Sargent’s lived experience.
Tosh’s life feels close to perfect. She lives on a beautiful farm with her loving adoptive parents, and life is full of mischief, best friends, and secondary school’s just around the next corner.
But suddenly, Tosh is in pain. And it won’t go away. She’s afraid of what it means to be hurting this much, and no doctor seems to understand.
Tosh’s chronic illness threatens to derail everything she loves. But she’ll hold onto one thing through all her pain, friendship dramas and struggles at school: her imagination. Tosh’s imaginary island will give her escape, adventure, and lead to the truest of real friendships...
A touching heart-story of discovery, adversity and the overwhelming healing power of imagination and stories.
