Ebook description

12-year-old Irish thinks he’s an ordinary kid—until he’s chosen to defend the mystical Otherworld against the King of Demons. “No way!” He says, until a demon kidnaps his kid sister. Then Irish and his two friends, Streak and Huff, time-hop to the besieged world to rescue her. But are they ready to face a shape-shifter, demon warriors, and vicious flesh-eating wulgoars?

A fast-paced tale; an otherworldly adventure where the young hero Irish realizes the power of self-worth and teamwork. Demons (portrayed hair-raising; snorting and snarling) abound. A vivid and satisfying adventure. Highly recommended for young and old readers.

This is a great adventure for anyone who loves Celtic lore. From Ogham sticks to the Tuatha de Danann, Markee twists in Irish poetry appearing on a helpful Ogham stick to meeting the legendary Celtic warrior, Cuchulain. The legends mix into an adventure story packed full of fighting, suspense, and cheering for the good guy.

I really enjoyed the Celtic references in this book. It really made it fun. I think some of the explanations might have slowed the pace, and some of the kid character’s dialogue needed more variety in the slang. Yet, it reminded me a lot of "Stand By Me" with a dash of fairies. Overall, it’s a fun read for those that like a great adventure.
