The people of Inis Mara had a lovely life and everyone was happy. But when ‘an Santóir’ becomes the leader, everything goes downhill and he ruins the beautiful island with dirty air. There is a brave girl on the island who inspires everyone to take a stand and Éabha decides to do her best to stop ‘an Santóir’.
This is a modern adventure story about climate change, the value of working with others, and the importance of the truth. Readers both young and old will enjoy and benefit from Éabha’s adventures as she tries to save her community from the crooked leader who is destroying the island. And the story reminds us over and over again that no man is an island.
“A topical, enjoyable and inspiring story … with messages that really affect the reader.” – Anne-Marie Kelly, Director, Dublin UNESCO City Of Literature
Bhí saol breá ag muintir Inis Mara agus bhí gach duine sona sásta. Ach nuair a cheaptar an Santóir mar cheannaire, téann gach rud in olcas agus milleann sé an t-oileán álainn le haer salach. Tá cailín cróga ar an oileán a spreagann gach duine chun seasamh a thógáil agus beartaíonn Éabha a dícheall a dhéanamh chun an Santóir a stopadh.
Scéal comhaimseartha eachtraíochta atá anseo a bhaineann le cúrsaí athrú aeráide, leis an tábhacht a bhaineann le bheith ag comhoibriú le daoine eile, agus le tábhacht na fírinne. Bainfidh léitheoirí óga agus aosta taitneamh agus tairbhe as eachtraí Éabha agus í ag iarraidh a pobal a thabhairt slán ón gceannaire cam atá ag milleadh an oileáin. Agus meabhraíonn an scéal dúinn arís is arís eile gur ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.
“Scéal tráthúil, taitneamhach agus spreagúil … le teachtaireachtaí a théann i bhfeidhm go mór ar an léitheoir.” – Áine-Máire Ní Cheallaigh, Stiúrthóir, Baile Átha Cliath UNESCO Cathair Litríochta
