The Last Boat From Gullstone Island

For sixteen-year-old Maya Hart, the school trip to Gullstone Island is supposed to be simple: take notes for biology class, sketch a few tide pools, avoid drama, and make it back to the mainland before dinner.

But when a sudden change in the weather, a hidden cove, and one badly timed decision leave Maya and five classmates stranded after the last boat has gone, their ordinary field trip turns into a race against darkness, rising tides, and their own fears.

With no working phones, little food, and a storm rolling in from the Atlantic, the students must cross an island they barely know. Along the way they discover an abandoned lighthouse, a coded map, and a secret about Gullstone’s past that may help them find a way home—if they can learn to trust one another first.

A young adult adventure about courage, friendship, quick thinking, and the surprising strength found when plans fall apart.
