Summary

WINNER OF THE BAMB YOUNG READERS MIDDLE GRADE AWARD 2018

WINNER OF THE INDEPENDENT BOOKSHOP WEEK BOOK AWARD 2019

When Fionn Boyle sets foot on Arranmore Island, it begins to stir beneath his feet ...

Once in a generation, Arranmore Island chooses a new Storm Keeper to wield its power and keep its magic safe from enemies. The time has come for Fionn’s grandfather, a secretive and eccentric old man, to step down. Soon, a new Keeper will rise.

But, deep underground, someone has been waiting for Fionn. As the battle to become the island’s next champion rages, a more sinister magic is waking up, intent on rekindling an ancient war.

Read the second book in the series: The Lost Tide Warriors

Critic reviews

"The Storm Keeper's Island will blow you away.... A magical new voice in fantasy. Wise, warm and wonderful." (Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series)

"So magical and wild that it's like being swept away by the sea... She's taken an ancient story and found something new and bold and wild in it - I think only real bone-deep writers and storytellers do that. I can't wait for the next." (Katherine Rundell, author of The Explorer)  

"Funny, dark and blazingly beautiful, The Storm Keeper's Island is a thrillingly inventive adventure." (Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars

Classic magic

The book is classified under young adult, but this old adult enjoyed the gentle magic and excellent narration very much! This would make an excellent book for grandparents and grandchildren to listen to together.
I enjoyed how there is a definite feeling that Fionn's story will continue, but no crude cliff - hanger tactics alluding to yet another endless series. A very satisfyingly contained story.
The magic feels just right, and the goodies and baddies are well differentiated but not simplistically so.
I almost wish there was a series - but not quite.

Magical, poetic, gripping, wonderful

I listened to this with my 10 year old and we were entranced. A wonderful story - beautifully written with such evocative poetic language. An exciting story that is perfectly paced and very well narrated.

The story is now set up for book 2 and we wait eagerly for its release.

Fantastic, imaginative & very well read

I love this story. It's full of imagination and intrigue. The narrators voice was perfect for it with his soft Irish lilt and character's voices. Just brilliant!
