Waterstones Says

Crackling with magic and influenced by Irish folklore, The Storm Keeper’s Island combines classic adventure with sharply funny dialogue as danger lurks beneath the magical Arranmore Island.

Waterstones Children's Book of the Month for July 2018

'The Storm Keeper's Island will blow you away ... A magical new voice in fantasy. Wise, warm and wonderful' - Eoin Colfer

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.
