Reviews

A new and contemporary collection of stories from Ireland's foremost children's authors, specially created for readers aged 10+. A mix of adventure, fantasy and incident, the stories focus on modern-day issues and are designed to be both exciting and thought provoking.

The authors included are: Stephanie Dagg, Eoin Colfer, Siobhán Parkinson, Pat Boran, Gerard Whelan, Maeve Friel, Gregory Maguire, Carló Gebler, June Considine, Mark O'Sullivan and Frank Murphy.

'The story quality is superb. All are exciting and modern day and I defy anyone not to enjoy dipping into this great book.' - Fingal Independent

'Some of (the stories) are poignant, some funny, some sad and some surreal but all of them have that quintessentially Irish 'feel' to them ... All the stories are very different which makes this collection so appealing; there should be something to please everyone. A very enjoyable read.' - School Librarian

Something for everyone.' Kidstuff - RTÉ Guide

'Dunbar gathers together a dozen stories by top Irish authors and there isn't a child anywhere who wouldn't find something of interest here: fairies, animals, bullying, mystery, rivalries.' Niall MacMonagle - Irish Times
