The Voyage of Sam Singh

In Gita Ralleigh’s second magical middle grade adventure set in a parallel colonial India, land-pirate Sam Singh sails to an isle teeming with spirits and secrets on a perilous journey to find the truth. ‘We are kings of the forest,Let them tame us if they can!’Sam?s older brother, Moon, has been missing for three long years. Moon is a skilled thief, but Sam fears Moon’s luck has finally run out.

It’s rumoured he’s held in the Octopus, a notorious prison on the Isle of Lost Voices, from which no one has ever escaped alive. Leaving his tribe of land-pirates behind, Sam sets sail with the shady Professor Bogusz and his faithful parrot, Suka. With help from a young forest guide called Lola, they trek deep into the island’s interior, a place where spirits dwell and the Octopus casts a deadly shadow.

With a storm brewing and the clock ticking, Sam is in a race against time to break into the prison, save Moon and find a brighter future for them all.
