This book is for 9-14 years old, well that has long passed me by and I loved this book, an escape from realism for a little while.
This is a take on some of the legends that come out of Ireland and modernised.
Something I really liked about this book is at the back it tells you the pronunciation of the words and the meaning but also some of the symbolism of some of the items that are used or lost.
Rose has twin brothers and it seems one or the other is always crying. One night Rose thought she heard something downstairs so she went to see, grabbing her mum’s good wooden spoon on the way down.
When she stood near the back door window there was hail coming down and for some reason she goes outside where the hail turned into a person in front of her eyes, the iceman gave Rose a red stone and said to look after it and then he was gone.
This stone is very special and this book tells of something that happened when having this stone.
Really enjoyable.
