Average rating
‘The Lost Girl King echoes Lord of the Rings and Narnia, whilst being original and fresh. It’s sure to become a classic of its own’ – Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars
‘A glorious gulp of a summer adventure’ – Piers Torday, author of The Lost Wild
‘Nobody writes peril, wit and wonder as well as Catherine Doyle … a modern Diana Wynne Jones’ – Dave Rudden, author of Irish Children’s Book of the Year, Knights of the Borrowed Dark
From the author of the bestselling Storm Keeper trilogy comes a new, spellbinding adventure…
Amy and Liam Bell have been packed off to stay at Gran’s house in the wilds of Connemara for the summer. Out for a walk on the first morning of their holiday, they trace the flight of a hawk to a nearby waterfall – only to watch the bird disappear through it. Intrigued, the children follow and soon realise they’ve discovered the entrance to Tír na nÓg, the legendary land of eternal youth.
But they’ve been tricked. Almost immediately Liam is captured by a troop of headless horsemen who take him to Tarlock, the ruling sorcerer of Tír na nÓg, who is seeking the bones of a human child for a sinister new spell.
Packed with edge-of-your seat adventure, incredible imagination, humour and warmth, The Lost Girl King is the rare kind of story that has you reading long past lights out.

I really enjoyed this book because it got my heart racing and I could not put it down!

The Lost Girl King includes action that makes you sit at the edge of your seat and magic to good to be true. Personally I think Catherine Doyle has an incredible imagination as this book you can not put down because if you did you would want to pick it right back up again, that is just a waste of energy. SO READ THIS BOOK!

I enjoyed when Amy went exploring into the wood with her scared brother Liam . I enjoyed when A scarecrow distracted them and they swam in a waterfall and found themselves in a magical island filled with trees taller than the eifle tower in France

The book was all about fiction. My favourite characters were Amy, Liam, Peggy, Grandma and Jonah. If you need imagination, then this is what you need!

With the slightly odd title, you might not expect much of this book. As soon as I read the first chapter, I hungrily devoured the rest. Amy and her brother Liam journey to the land of Tír na nÓg to find that a terrible curse has taken over the land! Can they save the inhabitants from the terrifying monster Tarlock and be free once again?
