Review: This is a book about family, believing in yourself, and the power of kindness. The main character of Mup, a little girl whose mother is the daughter of an evil queen from another world, is such a wonderful character, and her inner monologue in regards to other people's feelings and needs make her a great role model for young people. All in all, I highly recommend this readers of all ages.

Review: Mup’s Dad has been taken to Witches Borough, a place which is ruled by her Grandmother who isn’t very nice. Her Mam, Stella, was raised by her Aunty and kept away from Witches Borough but now that her Aunty has died (though still there in spirit) the Witches want to take Stella back. When she resists her husband is taken and it is up to Stella, Mup, Tipper (Mup’s baby brother that has been turned into a dog), and the family pet dog Badger to cross the border and rescue Mup’s Dad. But danger is lurking around every corner. Begone the Raggedy Witches is the first book in a planned trilogy. The book is filled with mystery and magic. Mup is a very brave little girl who won’t let anyone stand in her way, she is also very caring and gets upset easily when people don’t do the right thing. Mup’s Mam Stella is a very mixed up woman. She wants her husband back, she wants to keep her children safe, but she also feels the pull of being able to use magic and is unsure whether she should find her husband and return home or stay in Witches Borough, a place her Aunty has kept her away from since she was a little girl. This is a book that features magic in its raw form, Earth Magic. There are no wands or broomsticks needed, magic comes from within. The whole book is captivating and every scene is vividly described. Celine Kiernan writing is just beautiful and enchanting and I now look forward to reading the next two books in the series and see what Ms. Kiernan has in store for the family and can Witches Borough be brought back to a place of joy rather than sadness. I would like to make a quick point regarding the line on the back of the book ‘Ireland’s Answer to JK Rowling’ from the Sunday Independent newspaper. I actually think this is very much misleading in terms of the style of writing and the plot, in case people were thinking of picking this book up due to the similarities – There are none. I also think this is a disservice to the author who has her own style of writing and she should be praised for it, not likened to someone else.

    Description: This book is a riveting investigation of what it means to love music and what it means to hate music, both of good and bad taste. Non-fans regard Celine Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about Celine Dion, and nothing clever. That's part of her appeal as an object of love or hatred - with most critics and committed music fans taking pleasure (or at least geeky solace) in their lofty contempt. This book documents Carl Wilson's brave and unprecedented year-long quest to find his inner Celine Dion fan, and explores how we define ourselves in the light of what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate.
