The Great Kieranski and the Bardbuy Cate Mara 1st edition

If you or your child enjoy reading  MG chapter books, Cate Mara's new book The Great
Kieranski and the Bardbuy will certainly provide hours of enjoyment!
Meet  "Great Kieranski". On his last day of the summer holiday before school starts again, he is
determined to have an adventure, even if it means inventing one! Joined by his crew of best
mates, he uses recent events as a reason to save their town from aliens, bullies, and the evil
Bardbuy.
Kieran, an opinionated country boy who loves his town, friends, and family with a fierce pride,
tells the story of their last day. Obsessed by magic, the local bully, and being part of a crew, he
reveals the triumphs and trials of friends and enemies through their encounters. He explains
why kids sometimes tell lies, start fights, and even deal with girls, as his crew saves the town
from the monster that lives by the creek. During their adventures the boys support each other,
help others, and Kieran even develops an inkling of why the local bully is a bully.  
A fantastic story with a wink to real-life events of any young man! This book is a must read for
anyone who enjoys reading about how imagination can drive a child's life!
