A Children's Book From Ireland

If you like witches and you like fun, you'll love this very funny children's book set in the magical Irish town of Ballyyahoo.

When Gerry hears there might be a witch in Ballyyahoo he doesn't know if it's really true. His mother says it's just idle gossip but others say there really is a witch in Ballyyahoo.
Then one day he sees something strange and shocking in a quiet lane and with the help of a magic stone he finds out that a terrible crime is about to happen.
It is not the type of crime that usually happens in Ballyyahoo - nothing to do with donkeys, lights, or hazelnuts. No, it's a terrifying crime that starts with a big knife, a big burglar, and if Gerry doesn't do something, it just might end in murder.
Gerry desperately tries to stop this crime from happening, but nobody believes in magic stones and nobody believes Gerry.
Gerry needs help - magic help. But, there's only one person can save the day but is there really a witch in Ballyyahoo?

The Witch of Ballyyahoo is a hilarious children's fantasy book and is suitable for children reading alone, or as a fun read to be shared with family.

`A genuine laugh-out-loud story.'

`What I love most about these Ballyyahoo books is the characters, they're all original and funny but Biddy the witch and her flying vacuum cleaner is by far my favourite.'

`The funniest witch ever and a really great story - the kids love these Ballyyahoo books.'

`I love the way Ballyyahoo is such a magical place - there's always something going on and this story is just great.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

`The Witch of Ballyyahoo' is a story that is very special to me. A lot of stories about witches have nasty unpleasant witches always dying to do a bad turn but I wanted to create a witch who is the opposite of that. I wanted the witch of Ballyyahoo to save the day whenever she could.
I wrote my witch to be a guardian of the town. She watches out for anything going wrong and enjoys teaching the Ballyyahoo kids her tricks and magic so that they can continue her great traditions.
I also made her funny and eccentric - her name is Biddy and she enjoys Zumba dancing and peanuts.
Biddy the witch has come a long way from the days of the broom stick because she uses a vacuum cleaner to fly from place to place and is also very fond of her very own special istone, a powerful tool which, if it fell into the wrong hands could spell disaster - Ballyyahoo would be more than just gone - Ballyyahoo would be a thousand shades of disappeared!
I hope you enjoy reading the Witch of Ballyyahoo as much as I enjoyed writing it.
