In a quiet corner of Kerry, not far from where the sea stumbles onto the pebble-littered beaches of Lambshead, there is, so local legend tells, the last community of Bogdoddies in all Ireland..... So begins this amazing adventure. Bogdoddy Green is clean, calm and perfect. Or is it? Healthy animals are suddenly sick. Flowering plants wither. Insects disappear. Join Fergal and Dan on a journey into mystery. Why is Donny the Donkey sick? who-or what- is the Bogdoddy 'Ghost'? What are the rainbows in the river? What can Fergal and Dan do to save their beloved Irish countryside? This book combines intrigue and humour with a certain educational aspect to help young children understand nature and the effort that must be made to protect it. This story deals with water, it's use as a power source and the dangers of pollution. It includes projects, recipes, diagrams and suggestions for further study.

More About the Author
I first knew I wanted to be a writer at age 9 when my mother lugged home an old, beaten up Royal typewriter with twisted keys. I gazed at the strange name, QWERT YUIOP, on the second line under the numbers. I knew QWERT and I would be friends. I pounded away at the Royal for hours on end to my grandmother's chagrin, composing very short stories about living lightning, malevolent mud monsters and sinister prairie grass. I was from Illinois, where these things can be found.
QWERT and I kept pounding out stories through grade school and high school. My grandmother warned me to stop the pounding, but my mom said it was okay while she was at work. In college, I studied art and writing and won a short story contest. I kept writing, kept publishing, kept typing up to my time at a Great Midwestern Newspaper, when the era of the Royal gave way to the computer. QWERT survived the change.
Then came the Shadow Beasts and The Outcasts. I hope you enjoy them.
Best,
