Description
At the annual Festival of the Hunt, thirteen-year-old apprentice goblin hunter Finn MacCullen and his master, Gideon Lir, join other Tuatha De Danaan to honor their people’s heritage. But Finn soon realizes that there are some who denounce his right to attend due to his half-human bloodline.
While he struggles to keep his place by his master’s side, he finds himself embroiled in a decades-old grudge between Gideon and another Knight, bewildered (and beguiled) by a female apprentice with a temper as explosive as his own, and battling a pack of goblins determined to wipe out the entire camp in a surprise attack.
It’s going to take some fancy knife work, the help of a female Knight with a lethal bow, and one old pickup truck to defeat the goblins and prove to his people that his blood runs true-blue Tuatha De Danaan.
Advance Praise
Finn
Finnegan brings classic adventure into a modern day setting for a great read.
The Celtic lore in the story is fascinating and gives it an extra richness.
This will appeal to all those readers (myself included) who love the idea of a
hidden and dangerous world within our own sometimes too ordinary world. -- Dee
Garretson, author of Wildfire Run and Wolf Storm
If Lloyd Alexander had written The Ranger's Apprentice, the result might have
been something like Finn Finnegan. Fantastic! -- Mike Mullin, author of Ashfall
and Ashen Winter
Overall, a great choice for adventure-loving readers who prefer their battle
scenes with a hefty dose of ancient weaponry, ground-fighting skills, and just
a touch of magic. -- School Library Journal
