Description
When teenager Dylan emerges from the wreckage of a train crash onto a bleak Scottish hillside, she meets a strange boy who seems to be waiting for her. But Tristan is no ordinary teenage boy, and their journey across the desolate, wraith-infested wasteland is no ordinary journey. A moving, epic love story that's exciting, scary, funny, thought-provoking and truly original.
Reviews / Votes
I really enjoyed Ferryman, it was a page-turner, exciting, thought-provoking, though it did end with some unanswered questions for me, so could there be a sequel in the pipeline? Either way it's still a fantastic book, a real breath of fresh air and a book I think teens will really enjoy. * Bookapoet * 'Ferryman was happy, sad, gripping, beautiful, heart wrenching and everything in between.' -- Read and Repeat blog 'good characters, great development, compelling story, KISSING and lovely prose' * Ella Bee Reads * I loved it.
