Product Description
Is aisteach go deo an áit í Baile an Chnoic agus, cosúil le háit aisteach ar bith, tá rún nó dhó i bhfolach ann. Tá cloch ar an bhaile a bhfuil comharthaí aisteacha uirthi, ach is beag duine a thugann suntas di go dtí go dtarlaíonn eachtra uafáis a osclaíonn súile gach aon duine.
Eachtraí Uafáis i mBaile an Chnoic!
Ar dtús, lasadh teach Mhicí Mhic Shuibhne, ansin thuirling beacha mistéireacha ar an scoil. Agus ina dhiaidh sin, goideadh an chloch rúnda — Cloch na Gréine!
Rógairí, Bithiúnaigh, agus Páistí Fiosracha
Ach is aisteach an dream iad muintir Bhaile an Chnoic — dream nach maith leo aird, dream ar fearr leo páistí a bhíonn ciúin agus béasach, dream nach maith leo páistí fiosracha! Beirt dhéagóirí fiosracha iad Éimear agus Seán, agus ní fada go mbíonn siad i mbun bleachtaireachta. Casfar bithiúnaigh orainn sa scéal seo, agus roinnt de na rógairí is aistí dá bhfaca tú riamh. Agus foghlaimeoidh tú faoi SCRIOBHNEOIREACHT RÚNDA atá in úsáid sa tír seo le breis is míle bliain. Ní rún go rún Chloch na Gréine!
As Béal Feirste don údar, agus is é seo an dara húrscéal do léitheoirí óga léi. Úrscéal eile í Cloch na Gréine sa tsraith ‘Scoil an Chnoic’, agus í maisithe go gleoite ag Vince Reid.
Baile an Chnoic is a strange kind of town, and like any strange town it has hidden secrets. In the town there is a stone with strange markings, and nobody ever seems to notice them, until something happens which forces people to wake up and pay attention.
Disturbing Events in Baile an Chnoic!
First of all, Micí Mac Suibhne’s house was set on fire, then a mysterious swarm of bees invaded the school. And then, after that, a mysterious stone was stolen — Cloch na Gréine!
Rogues, Fiends, and Nosey Children
The inhabitants of Baile an Chnoic are a strange bunch — they don’t like attention, they prefer children to be nice and polite, and they don’t like nosey children! Éimear and Seán are two nosey children, and before long they turn to detective work. In this story we’ll meet rogues, and some of the weirdest fiends you’ll ever see. And you’ll learn about a mysterious form of writing that is in use in this country for more than a thousand years. But the greatest mystery of all is Cloch na Gréine!
Jacqueline de Brún hails from Belfast. She has translated books into Irish, and this is her second novel for young readers. Cloch na Gréine is another wonderful book in the ‘Scoil an Chnoic’ collection, beautifully illustrated by Vince Reid.
