Reviews

". . .Enchanting descriptions of Tir Na Nog and its inhabitants will easily have readers suspending their disbelief and watching for book three." -- "Booklist"
"The Ronan Boyle books are ridiculously funny. Like, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett funny. I was laughing hysterically while reading them. My kids were laughing hysterically. My dog might have even been laughing hysterically while listening to us read it. (At least at the parts that involved dogs, of which there are a good number.). And in addition to being funny, the books are chock-full of adventure and excitement, with stereotype-defying werewolf, leprechauns and unicorns thrown in. They're a tremendous joy to read from the first page to the last. Especially the part with the snakes."-- "Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series"
