When Fionn Boyle sets foot on Arranmore Island, it begins to stir beneath his feet ...

Once in a generation, Arranmore Island chooses a new Storm Keeper to wield its power and keep its magic safe from enemies. The time has come for Fionn’s grandfather, a secretive and eccentric old man, to step down. Soon, a new Keeper will rise.

But, deep underground, someone has been waiting for Fionn. As the battle to become the island’s next champion rages, a more sinister magic is waking up, intent on rekindling an ancient war.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Wise, warm and wonderful

Like being swept away by the sea

Funny, dark and blazingly beautiful

Destined to become a modern classic

Flickers with a rare and wonderful magic

An enchanting book

I miss Fionn and his grandfather and their island as if they were real

A stunning story of courage and hope

The love and hope communicated is perhaps the greatest magic of all

I’m on tenterhooks for the next book.

A warm-hearted tale full of magic, friendship and humour. I could practically smell the ocean salt and feel the glow of the candles whilst turning the pages

A magical rush of an adventure story about family, bravery, and harnessing the storm within that is thoughtful, funny and exciting all at the same time ... Fionn is a hero to really root for

The Storm Keeper’s Island will sweep you not just off your feet, but far away across the sea to a sparkling, magical land of classic adventure

An incredible book as full of heart as it is of adventure ... An unforgettable, very special book that you'll want to share with everyone you know

Imaginative and exhilarating, The Storm Keeper’s Island is a beautiful story that promises more to come

This story weaves ancient Celtic magic with a modern-day tale of family bonds, memory, and sibling rivalry ... Fans of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson can add Fionn Boyle as a generous and brave hero from the Emerald Isle

ITS AMAZING!!!!

We liked this book, it had great imagery! We highly recommend it to anyone. Can’t wait for the sequels!

Great for any age except the under 5

I’m really enjoying the storm keepers series. I have listened 2 of the books and can’t wait to start the next one. It is a 4 book series so far I thank my niece for clueing me into this. So thank you Carolyn. Read the actual book or from Audible. Also a thank you goes out to the nice people at Audible. I hope you enjoy the first book all the way down to the fourth.

Brilliant - can’t wait for the sequel

This was entertaining on so many levels. Catheryne Doyle has spun a yarn as rich & deep as Celtic mythology and as accessible to modern sensibilities as Harry Potter is . Like all heroic tales of good versus evil, some aspects are predictable- but this does not make them ring any less true or any less moving. Patrick Moy’s narration on Audible makes it doubly good. It’s a perfect bedtime or rainy day story for young and old alike. My only regret is that I can’t cue up the next installment this very instant. (Netflix has sadly ruined my ability to defer gratification. I’ve become Roald Dahl’s Veruca Salt. I want it NOW!).

Librarian recommends!

I listened to this story in preparation for our TOME reading club next year at school. I highly recommend going online and reading the author’s note for this book. What a touching tribute to her grandfather. I loved the narrator’s reading and often pictured Sean Conner as Malachi Boyle-ha!
