A breath-taking tale of adventure, myth and magic for readers aged 8+ 

Young readers will be absorbed by the mysterious Sword of the Sun by Sinead O'Hart, plus they'll have fun with the accompanying activity pack, which we created for Parrot Street Book Club subscribers in September 2024.

A magical and atmospheric novel with a contemporary setting and relatable characters, all inspired by ancient Irish mythology. We were completely absorbed by the stunning storytelling which combines a modern family drama with myth, fantasy, action and adventure

~Emily

When Ben and his family have to leave Dublin and move into the remote house where his mother grew up, he's not optimistic about what lies ahead. For him and his brother Fin, it'll mean fitting in to life with his aunts and a cousin he doesn't even know.

But what Ben doesn't expect is that he will be drawn into the mysteries of the wild mystical landscape. He can sense its power, and he can see a light shining from the mountain on the horizon. Even stranger, crows are gathering, watching him and haunting his dreams.

As Ben uncovers the stories of Ireland's mythical heroes and warriors that obsessed his grandfather right up until he died, Ben begins to wonder if there is more to the tales than pure fantasy. It seems like trouble is stirring - and will he have the power to face it?

Sinéad O'Hart is a children's author, podcaster and parent, all of which keeps her busy (but not too busy to read). She's the author of The Eye of the North, The Star-Spun Web, Skyborn, The Time Tider and The Silver Road

The activity pack includes book club-style questions to ponder and a recipe for soda bread. You'll also draw a bear, solve our Irish mythology word search and create a landscape collage, alongside jokes, facts and further reading recommendations.

Activity packs are a handy A5 size and printed on uncoated paper which is fully recyclable.
