Nation

Brilliantly funny children's novel from the master story-teller and creator of Discworld. Mau is the last surviving member of his nation, alone on a desert island- until he finds the ghost girl. Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, is certain her father will come and rescue her but it seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship's parrot. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things and start to forge a new Nation.
