An Island Too Lovely Deborah Kaminski

Isidora was only 11 years old on the day Riku fell over the cliff. What happened next was bizarre beyond her imagining. Even her best friend Annie, usually so smart, had no explanation. As Isidora tries to make sense of things, her teachers are incredulous, and her mother warns her to forget about it. Isidora lives in the distant future, on an island isolated from the Mainland for hundreds of years. No one ever comes to Harkins and no one ever leaves. According to island lore, Harkins was settled 300 years earlier by those escaping the Devastation. For their own good, the location of the island is a closely held secret. Only the Mayor, who has absolute power, knows where they are and when the Return to the Mainland will be. However, much as Isidora wants to live a normal life, the secret of the island intrudes. When she finally unearths the truth, nothing will ever be the same again.
