This book was a gift for our Bradford library from Nancy O'Leary, my friend and volunteer. She was traveling in Ireland, saw it and thought of me. It is written by an Irish author named Catherine Doyle. It is a fantasy story of a magical island, an evil sorceress trapped in its soil, and the boy destined to defeat her by wielding the island's magic. I found too many similarities to Harry Potter that it turned me off a bit. It was a fine story, but not original, unfortunately. It is the first in a series. I am unsure if I will buy the others as they are released. (FIC DOY)
