Chapter 2

Mali stared in horror as the sands rushed to meet them. They appeared to have washed up on a magical island. The sky ship’s mast was in pieces, the sails were torn into tiny shreds and the windows were smashed. The twins were terrified and relieved at the same time. They had survived. Luckily the Sunset Moon wasn’t too badly damaged as they had landed in the water.

Jack stared around, he could see the soft golden sand with little bits of granite that made it sparkly. He could see three astonishing things: a black backed seagull with an eye patch and a pirate’s hat, it was called Jim, a pool of gold and silver water, an orangutan with rainbow fur. There were big granite boulders spread out across the top of the beach. Jack could also see five narrow mountains that looked like a giant had squeezed them until they were tapered and crooked.

Mali could feel the soft, sparkly, golden sand in between her toes, she could hear the wind howling in-between the mountains. Mali suggested they go and find some shelter, so they set off across the island. Eventually they found an ancient, ruined church and spread their parachutes out over the crumbling stone floor to give them a blanket to sleep on during the night
