Kerry, Ireland A.D. 800, (Paperback)

"A dark shadow continues to grow over a small coastal clan in Kerry. Will our two young heroes be prepared for what is likely to be the greatest event of their lives? Join spunky Eileen and her foundling cousin, Séamus, in this inspiring coming-of-age tale where high adventure and important life lessons combine in an educational and entertaining story which lads and lasses of all ages will enjoy." Set in Ireland's majestic Ring of Kerry in the year of our Lord, 800, this book tells the story of the early medieval Irish people through the eyes of four children. These young heroes must learn to face losses, difficulty, and changes, and accept their responsibilities and duties. Intertwined with tales from ancient Irish folklore and mythology, this story is culturally rich and riddled with history. From shipwrecks to Vikings, the adventure-filled plot is engaging and entertaining. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
