The Island Between Worlds

Stranger Shores

The new middle grade novel by R D Beech, suitable for readers aged 8-years-old and above.

One secret-filled island. Two opposing worlds. Three new friends. One life-changing adventure they’ll never forget.

Stranger Shores is the story of three children who, whilst exploring caves on the Island of Portland, discover a portal to a magical, yet troubled world. When mysterious creatures start arriving on the island, April, Sibel and Olly must work together, using their combined skills and wit, to uncover Portland’s secret history and its links to an ancient race of otherworldly beings.

They must outsmart enemies on both sides of the portal to prevent all-out war as well as overcome their individual differences to help each other find family, new friends, and for one of them, their destiny.

It is a fast-paced adventure full of heart and humour, featuring memorable and diverse characters, promoting themes of kindness, empathy, and what it means to be home.
