Beanie the Bansheenie
An unforgettable new twist on Irish folklore from the author of Artemis Fowl
(Author) Eoin ColferBanshees are supernatural Irish harbingers of doom, but where do they come from? The answer: they grow in pods on the prickly gorse bush. The sole job of a baby banshee, a 'bansheenie' as they are called, is to bond with a human. Once bonded, they know everything about that person. Most importantly - when they will die. Our bansheenie, named Beanie, is no ordinary herald of death. When she sees her person, a little girl called Rose, she decides to change her own - and Rose's - fate and instead of delivering bad news, Beanie wants to protect Rose and her family. When her banshee's howl of doom won't work, she must draw power and strength from the ancient secrets and hidden networks of the natural world around her. She must create a brand new sound, a new way of being in the world that will change - everything.
