PARADISE BARN by VICTOR WATSON
It’s September 1940 in the English village of Great Deeping. Despite the shadow of war and ongoing aerial battles overhead, life seems straightforward. Then a violent murder shatters the veneer of calm. Best friends Molly and Abigail along with Adam, a recent evacuee from London, become embroiled in solving the mystery. This coming-of-age story, combining rich historical detail with suspense and adventure, effectively depicts how suspicion and prejudice can challenge the bonds of friendship and community during a time of conflict.

CARRAIG NA CAILLÍ by TRIONA NÍ LIONÁIN MAISITHE AG PETER DONNELLY
Mam imithe ag obair, Daid sa leaba tar éis oíche ar an bhfarraige sa bhád tarrthála agus gach rud curtha i dtreo don lá mór iascaireachta a bhí beartaithe. Géilleann Colm don chathú dul amach sa bhád ina aonar. Tugann sé aghaidh ar Charraig na Caillí ainneoin a dhainséirí agus atá sé agus leanann eachtraí as sin a shasóidh léitheoir óg. Tá rialacha farraige agus go leor eolais faoi chleachtais shábháilte ar an bhfarraige sa scéal agus tagann an líníocht agus na mothúcháin a léirítear go breá leis.
