As pirates attempt to hijack her ship, eleven-year-old Sarah is thrown overboard. She finds herself washed up on a mysterious island where children are forced to weave elaborate rugs by the ill-tempered Mr. Grim. Sarah's efforts to save the Woolies--and herself--while figuring out what's behind Grim's dastardly plan carry readers through this entertainingly spun (though frenetically paced) yarn.
