Publisher's summary
Written in a spirit that embodies Guillermo Del Toro's most twisted fantasies, The Isle of Children is a dark fairytale bordering contemporary horror and mid-century fantasy.
Step back in time to an early 19th century orphanage and find yourself in the weathered shoes of 14 year old Carlos as he manages a harrowing escape and finds himself lost at sea in a tiny boat. He eventually awakens on a strange island inhabited by nothing but children who live in a giant mansion under the care of a lone adult, simply referred to as Father. Carlos befriends a young girl named Isabella and together they discover the dark secrets of the island. They discover that there is something violent that lurks in the woods surrounding the mansion, something ancient and hungey, something that feeds upon fear and young flesh. Together, they must try to find a way to kill the monster and free the children from an island that threatens to tear them apart.
