• The Secret of Kells by TOMM MOORE. Brendan and his fellow monks live in the remote Abbey of Kells, spending their days isolated and toiling away under the strict control of Brendan’s uncle to build walls that fend off the Vikings. But when a master illuminator arrives with an extraordinary book containing secret powers, Brendan is chosen to complete the unfinished book. As he sets off on a thrilling adventure through the enchanted woods, Brendan encounters wicked creatures lurking in the shadows — but also new friends. Can Brendan finish the ancient book and cast light over Kells?
  
  
  
• Song of the Sea by TOMM MOORE. Many years after the disappearance of their mother, siblings Ben and Saoirse are still drowning in grief, as is their lighthouse-keeper father. Ben blames his little sister for the loss of their mother, and despite being six years old, Saoirse has yet to speak. When the kids discover that Saoirse is a selkie and the magical world that their mother told stories about is real, they dive into an adventure to keep the spirit world from disappearing forever.
  
  
  
• Wolfwalkers by TOMM MOORE. A young apprentice hunter, Robyn, journeys to Ireland with her father, whose job it is to wipe out the last wolf pack. One night, Robyn sneaks out and befriends Mebh, a member of a mysterious tribe of WOLFWALKERS rumored to have the ability to transform into wolves by night. After learning they're not to be feared, Robyn decides she must protect Mebh and her pack from the hunters. Soon, Robyn uncovers a secret that draws her further into the enchanted world of the WOLFWALKERS and risks turning her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.
