Balen has written yet another gorgeous book. Ghostlines is a beautiful, wild and brilliantly crafted novel about loss, friendship and the healing power of nature. Its funny too! I absolutely loved it. * Sarah Crossan * I loved this book. It's beautifully written, full of heart. The voice of the main character Tilda springs off the page with vivid life. It's a touching and tender story about the true meaning of home and community. Young readers will love the island setting, the puffins, the sea-kayak adventure to the secret island and the hideaway shelter Tilda and Albie build together. Brilliant. * Julia Green * One of the most beautiful books I've ever read * Kiran Millwood Hargrave on OCTOBER, OCTOBER * It's EXQUISITE. Read it. Wild yourself. Open your heart to it. Written with the pen of a poet and the soul of Mother Earth. Glorious. It's like nothing else I've ever read * Liz Hyder on OCTOBER, OCTOBER * Original, compulsive, uplifting: this is another triumph for Balen * The Times Children's Book of the Week on THE LIGHT IN EVERYTHING *
