Description

Dylan is twelve years old and embarking on his first ocean kayaking trip with his parents. He has spent the last year convincing them that he is ready for the challenging—and very dangerous—adventure. In fact, he has been determined to go ever since he heard about the destination: Ireland's Eye. The small island off the coast of Newfoundland is the easternmost settlement in Canada. Or it was. It is now hauntingly empty, a ghost town clinging to the edge of the unforgiving Atlantic. What is it about Ireland's Eye that so captivates Dylan he is willing to take such risks to get there? Does the ghost town have anything to do with the dreams Dylan keeps having of his favourite grandfather who has just passed away? And why does the old man on St. John's docks grimly whisper, "Don't go to Ireland's Eye" when he hears of Dylan's plans?

The Mystery of Ireland's Eye by Shane Peacock was an outstanding read. I was completely captivated by the opening scene of Dylan and his parents kayaking in open waters. I loved the flashbacks of how Dylan won his parents over and convinced them to let him join them on their holiday. It really came through how much hard work pays. Shane Peacock’s descriptions of the landscapes was wonderful. I can imagine kayaking the waters between islands or running through the woods or peering into the abandoned buildings. The build up of Dylan’s questionable experiences on Ireland’s Eye made me turn every page with trepidation, waiting for the big reveal. I really enjoyed this dramatic tale of one young man’s summer adventure and was excited to learn there are other stories in this series.
