Bansi O'Hara and the Edges of Halloween
(2011)(The second book in the Bansi O'Hara series)
A novel by John Dougherty
The feisty young heroine is back for a second faerie-fueled romp through Irish myth and magic
Bansi O'Hara returns in a fast-paced, funny, and frightening adventure. She could be excused for wanting a quiet life after her series of pulse-racing events, when an ancient prophecy from the land of the faeries nearly made her fail at the hands of their Dark Lord. But back into Tir na n'Og she must go - this time to rescue her mother, who is being held captive as a bride for the Dread Cruach. Helped (and often hindered) by Granny and her bickering pal Nora Mullarkey, can Bansi defeat this most sinister of sprites?
Genre: Children's Fiction
