The legend of the Corrib king (Acorn books)

I discovered this book traveling in Ireland last fall while choosing books for my neice and nephew. It is an excellent read combining mystery, Irish mythology, poetry interpretation, environmental concerns, and an inside look at the culture of Irish life. The author spins an intelligent, suspenseful, exciting, and meaningful tale filled with Irish charm and lore. I am ordering several of his books to read...and then pass along to the pre-teens in my life!
