Applegate, five friends Christopher, Jalil, April, David, and Senna escape from Atlantis and wash up on the shores of Eire, a magical island from Irish legend.

Quick Summary
What happens when a ordinary school Field Trip Day washes five kids onto a magical Irish shore ruled by giants, leprechauns, and ancient gods who have very short tempers? Kids will fall in love with the chaos that erupts when modern-day characters try to outsmart mythological beings while desperately searching for a way back home, because every encounter blends heart-pounding danger with laugh-out-loud misunderstandings. If your kid devours the mythology-powered adventures in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books, they'll be equally captivated by this Irish folklore twist. Perfect for readers in grades 4 through 7 who crave fantasy with clever humor and non-stop action.
