  • "JJ is married to Aisling and has four children - Hazel, Jenny, Donal and Aidan. All his children are special in their own way but Jenny has always lived by her own rules. She spends a lot of time on the stone beacon on the mountainside, talking to the ghost who guards it and the puca - the big, white goat who is also something else entirely."@en
  • "When eleven-year-old Jenny Liddy, in turmoil over learning that she is a changeling, makes a deal with a devil creature, she endangers the human race but her own cleverness, her human and fairy fathers, and the last of Ireland's high kings help to make things right."@en

  • "Traveling to the land of eternal youth was the only way J.J. Liddy could stop time from leaking from his world to T'ir na n'Og. But fifteen years after returning from the land of the faeries, J.J. wonders if that long-ago visit is responsible for the strange things now happening to those around him. Why does his daughter Jenny roam barefoot through the wilds, when she should be in school' When did the mysterious white goat begin to patrol the hillside' What is the secret project that J.J.'s son Donal is attempting' And who is the ghost guarding the stone beacon at the top of the mountain'and why has Jenny befriended him' Finding answers to these questions will take J.J. and his family on the most important and dangerous journey of their lives. If they fail, it will undo all the good that J.J. accomplished fifteen years ago. But if they succeed, they will defeat the forces that are gathering to destroy all of mankind, and finally secure the future of the last of the high kings."@en
  • "Jenny makes friends with the ghost of a young boy who guards a pile of rocks in the Irish countryside, and converses with the puca, a spirit disguised as a white ghost. The daughter of J.J. Liddy, who traveled to the timeless world of T'ir na n'Og when he was a young man, Jenny feels dreadfully out of place in the human world. When the enemy finally reveals itself, the future of the human race is under threat. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary."
