"It's the blackberry time in the west of Ireland. The McDonaghs are back at school, and Kevin's project involves drawing the round tower at Meelick. So, one beautiful autumn day the three children and Liam cycle over there. They meet a distinctly unfriendly man who warns them off - and drops a map. In an effort to make sense of it, they visit the library and study old maps and local histories. But it remains a mystery ... until their uncle reminisces about the lost tower of legend. Then suddenly the mill house, the yellow river, and the maps take on new significance
An exciting adventure story of a search in which the reader can take part..."--Back cover.
