When Fionn Boyle sets foot on Arranmore Island, it feels as though the island itself wakes up. Fionn has no idea when he arrives on Arranmore island to spend time with his Grandfather that he’s going to learn all about the unique magic the island holds, and his own family’s role in protecting it!
As you read through The Storm Keeper's Island by Catherine Doyle with your family, we’ve got a list of questions for you to ponder and discuss.
