Synopsis

Take one small island. Beautiful. Remote. Explorable. Then follow it on a journey. Where has it come from? Where is it heading? How fast is it travelling? The Island that Moved tracks one very small piece of Earth's crust through time and space, introducing the ideas of plate tectonics to young readers. The dramatic narrative, based on cutting edge research in the field of plate tectonics, describes the different climates the island has endured, and the widely varied plants and animals that have inhabited it, translating plate tectonics into an easily understood and fascinating story for children aged seven and up.
