Cian and The Roaring Stone: Book 2 of Little Legends Ireland

Cian is always the last one off the bus - not because he's slow, but because that's just where he ends up. Last in line, last to be asked, last to be noticed. He's stopped minding it. Mostly.Then his class takes a school tour to the Hill of Tara, and an ancient standing stone does something it has never done for anyone loud, confident, or first-in-line. It answers Cian. Quietly. Privately. When nobody is watching.Cian and the Roaring Stone is Book 2 in The Little Legends of Ireland, a series that takes Ireland's oldest legends - this time the story of the Lia Fáil, the Stone of Destiny at the Hill of Tara - and tucks them inside an ordinary school day, with real classroom dynamics and one quiet boy working out what it actually means to be chosen when nobody's clapping.Written for readers aged 8-10, this is an authentic, gently funny illustrated chapter book about noticing what others miss, doing the right thing without an audience, and a piece of Irish folklore retold through the eyes of the children living it today.
