The Storm Keeper’s Island

- By Catherine Doyle (Bloomsbury Children’s)

It is hard to believe in magic until it grips you by the shoulders and shakes you awake. Fionn isn’t keen on leaving his Dublin home to spend summer on the tiny island of Arranmore with his grandfathe­r, but once he and his sister set foot on the island, extraordin­ary and magical things begin to happen. Fionn learns that once in a generation, Arranmore chooses a new Storm Keeper – someone who must be the island’s champion, keeping its magic safe from enemies. This spellbindi­ng tale is inspired by a real island on the north-west coast of Ireland, as well as stories from author Catherine Doyle’s family history. It’s an unforgetta­ble adventure.
