Why read it?

1 author picked The Silver Road as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is a magical adventure that catapults ancient Irish mythology into the 21st century, with a heroine full of heart and courage, all stitched together, like The Silver Road of the title, with themes of friendship, family, and environmental conservation.

O'Hart's writing sings from the pages, like a love song for old Ireland, remixed for a modern generation. This is my favorite children's book of the year.
