Summary
It’s easy. Running away from the children’s home, Whitegates. Erin and January do it all the time. But this time they’re going away downriver on a raft. They have their friend, Mouse, with them. Now they’re stranded in the night on the lethal Black Middens. They climb up onto an ancient quay. How could they imagine that they’d discover a girl called Heaven Eyes? Heaven Eyes, a girl who should have drowned at sea, a girl living her with her strange and dangerous Grampa. A girl with a secret history that only Grampa knows, and he isn’t telling. A tale of courage and adventure, and of the search for happiness and family.
David Almond’s own adaptation of his acclaimed novel, shortlisted for The Carnegie Medal, and published in translation around the world.

"Heaven Eyes is a rich family tale that is perfect in particular for the 9-14 age group... You leave with a smile on your face yet the story doesn’t trivialise the subject matter." - North East Theatre Guide
