Notes

Summary: On an uninhabited island in the Scillies, Alfie and his father find an injured girl - alone, and with no memory of who she is... or how she came to be there. She can speak only one word: Lucy. Is she a mermaid, a ghost? Or could she even be a German spy? Lucy cannot speak to tell them. Only one thing is for sure: she loves music, and most of all she loves the moon. As World War I rages, and suspicion and fear grow, Lucy and Alfie are even more under threat. But Alfie never loses hope, just as Lucy never stops gazing at the moon. It's almost as if she's listening to it, as if it is telling her something she once knew
