Paolo Mazzucato

On his 13th birthday, Liam pretty much has everything he could want, except one thing...time. Ever since his father disappeared seven and a half years ago, Liam has had to grow up fast, but his mother still treats him like a kid.

Then, a mysterious birthday package containing a strange pocket watch arrives from Ireland…from his father, and calls Liam and his mother off on an extraordinary adventure. Together, they journey into the heart of Tír na nÓg, the land where time stands still, to find Liam's father, put things right between them, and prevent an evil enchantress from crossing the veil into their reality to devour and end all time.

Ages 8 and up

"...a delightfully crafted middle-grade, ordinary-boy-tasked-with-magical- journey tale told through Irish fables and lore... The writer does a wonderful job building the world of the story, both...on 'this side' and the vibrant world of Tír na nÓg on the 'other' side."
