Liam McPhee and The Thief of Laughter
In this middle-grade-fantasy debut, a group of children hopes to thwart the malicious schemes of Scotland’s Dark Faeries. Set in the Scottish Highlands, middle-grade readers will find much to like in this young adult story about friendship, loyalty, and laughter.
In the spirit of Peter Pan, a scoundral named Drudge steals laughter from the children of Scotland and sails away on a pirate ship named The Maisterful. The faeries and children and fantastical creatures in this tale will keep middle-grade readers enchanted from beginning to end.
Here in this imaginative world of long ago, pirate ships sail the Calendoneon Sea where magical and fantastical creatures complicate the adventures of Liam McPhee and his pals as they go on a quest to save Scotland’s stolen laughter.
