The rolling is slow but never stops. The island inhabitants, not knowing anything different, accept this as the way of the world. They simply keep moving away from West Shore to avoid falling off the island. A small inconvenience.But small inconveniences can have great effects that are difficult to explain. Such is the case for this strange island, where birds and horses-for some reason-are the only inhabitants who adapted well to the island.

Bird-horse doctors provide the treatments, bird-horse detectives find the clues, bird-horse florists make the bouquets, and so on. On Bird-Horse Island, this is the way of the world.This year, there are two young graduates from Bird School and Horse School who don't want to pair up. What can be done with misfits who refuse the way of the world? Island leadership isn't worried. For them, it is only a small inconvenience ...An illustrated novel, packed with friendship and adventure. Ages 10 and up.
