Eilean Mor- Gary Crew, Jeremy Geddes
Ships were being wrecked on the isle of Eilean Mor and the shepherds feared that the island was haunted. Based on a true story about the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers, this story blurs the line between fact and fiction with the combined text and illustrations. While the text offers no clues to the whereabouts of these men, the illustrations offer a solution of spirits transforming into birds to fly away from the island. The result is an ambiguous ending with the reader deciding the fate of the lighthouse keepers. The illustrations are symbolic to the escaping spirits. More suitable for older readers as their experiences will help with the understanding of the story.
