Title: Far out!
Description: "Ruby is used to being thought stupid and cowardly, but she did see the weird card on the school notice board, with its swirly colours and irrestible invitation: "Audition for Life, ring ..." Strangely, only one other person saw it - cool, streetwise Slate, who wouldn't normally be seen dead talking to kids like Ruby. So begins an unlikely partnership and an even odder journey, across the sea to an island beyond their wildest imaginings"--Back cover. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
