Arranmore Island is not your average island. It's a place of magic, where once in a generation, a Storm Keeper is chosen to ensure the island stays safe from evil enemies who want its powers. Enter Fionn Boyle: a boy you thought his life was as ordinary as can be before setting foot on the island to stay with his grandfather. I think this book is brilliant. The mysterious aspect is brilliant. As you go through the book, you learn more about the island and the Storm Keeper before a huge ending. I recommend this to anybody who enjoys slow-burning mysteries. I look forward to the second book!Catherine Doyle has created a magical story that will delight young readers looking for a fresh fantasy. Fionn is an inspiring character that middle-grade readers can relate to, especially those who are beginning to realize their own insecurities and who dream of having more courage. In addition, the detailed world Doyle creates is just as much a part of the story as the characters themselves. Her vivid descriptions of Arranmore, which is inspired by the real-life island where her ancestors lived, prove Fionn’s belief that “places can be just as important as people[, and] can have the same power over you if you let them.” Catherine Doyle is one of the UK's best children's author, with this series selling in multiple languages across the world, and has also written The Lost Girl King and the exciting YA Twin Crowns books. Prepare to enter a magical, sweep-you-off-your-feet world with this incredible award-winning middle grade series, perfect for fans of Harry Potter , How To Train Your Dragon and breathtaking fantasy adventure readers.
