KidsREAD: Paradise Barn

Recommended by Childrens Books Ireland ( 9-12yrs)
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.

LINCOLN AND HIS BOYS by ROSEMARY WELLS
In the bicentennial year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, this is a family portrait from the perspective of two of his sons covering a period before and after his election as US president. It is well researched and captures the social history of the period and life in the White House with child’s eye detail. PJ Lynch’s meticulous, realistic images reveal the close, warm relationship Lincoln had with his boys. Any child with an interest in history, America, and particularly its presidents will be fascinated.

THE RAVEN MYSTERIES, BOOK ONE: FLOOD AND FANG by MARCUS SEDGWICK
Part Addams Family, part Sherlock Holmes, this new series of hair-raisingmystery stories will have young sleuths hooked from the outset. In this first instalment, Sedgwick introduces us to the ghoulish Otherhand family and the eccentric goings-on of their castle home. Narrated in the first person by Edgar –pet Raven detective extraordinaire – the tone is appealingly light and accessible, Williamson’s creepy illustrations adding just the right measure of expression and humour. Highly recommended.

THE MISSING, BOOK ONE: FOUND by MARGARET PETERSON HADDIX
The first of a seven part series by acclaimed author Margaret Peterson Haddix, this is a fast paced, science- fiction mystery story. Centred on adopted kid, Jonah, his friend Chip, and sister Katherine, the book launches a series without taking away from the story. Time travel, FBI conspiracy, disappearing people and planes are all combined with issues of identity and destiny to make this book an exciting and nerve-wracking read with a great cliffhanger!
