description: A school on an island with rock-strewn coves and legends of "merry-maids," wreckers, and bells ringing beneath the sea.  That was the adventure-laden atmosphere that awaited Jan Gregory when she left her twin brother, Jim, to go to the Island School.  The most colourful figure on the island was the strange waif, Tessa Sorrento, whose only friends were the gulls and whose home was the sea-shore. Grim were the tales told of her ancestors and eerie were the stories of those who said they had seen Sorrentos walking on the sea to Haunty Isle at the time of the high-tides-days-and-nights.  This is a story to grip you for hours, with an especial interest for readers interested in Sea Guides.
