Jinny lives on an island with eight other kids and no grown-ups at all, and what she wants most is for things to stay exactly the way they are. Then the boat comes through the mist like it does every year, leaving a little girl named Ess behind and making Jinny the oldest one — the one who has to teach her everything.
