DESCRIPTION:
The longer Oisin holds the book, the stronger the bond between them grows, making him the Keeper of the Book of Magic. As a result of this new position, he and his siblings are attacked by Great Queen Morrigan. Celtic folklore and legends attribute magical powers to those with green eyes, because green is said to be the color of Fairies' eyes. He and his youthful looking Granny Keane are the only members of the family with green eyes.

With each chapter, a new challenge arises, and kids will be happy to join the protagonist every step of the way. From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—Twelve-year-old Oisin
