Claire and her best friend, Ella Grey, are ordinary kids from ordinary families in an ordinary world. They and their friends fall in and out of love, play music and dance, stare at the stars, yearn for excitement, and have parties on the beautiful beaches of Northumberland.
One day, a stranger, a musician called Orpheus, appears on the beach and entrances them all, but particularly Ella. Where has he come from and what path will Ella follow?
A Song for Ella Grey is a tale of modern teenagers and ancient forces, a tale told since the dawn of time and told again today.
