YA
After his mother and stepfather are killed in a flood, Andy runs away to live with his irresponsible dad in a squalid Halifax rooming house. They are joined by the Sheehogue--Irish fairies who occasionally pop in to stir up mischief or offer some assistance. This subtle element adds a touch of fantasy to a satisfying novel featuring well-developed characters who are never aware of the role the fairies play in their lives.

YA
After construction workers discover a mass grave in his schoolyard, thirteen-year-old foster child Tom falls--or is pulled--into the excavated grave. He emerges from the darkness to find he has traveled through time from 1974 Liverpool to 1847 Ireland. Tom's colorful first-person narrative describes the era of the great potato famine with honesty; his time travel experiences also provide some clues to his family background.
