Rowan Doyle and the Dagda's Cauldron
Overview
A dry well. A vanishing voice. A boy who's about to find out that paying attention can save two worlds.
Eleven-year-old Rowan Doyle has always had unusually good ears - good enough to hear a kettle about to boil from two rooms away. It's never been more than a strange party trick.
Until the milk Nan leaves out every night goes untouched. Until the cat refuses to cross the garden. Until the old well at the bottom of the garden - full for as long as anyone can remember - turns up completely, impossibly dry.
What Rowan discovers is that the Good Neighbors are real, that a promise made by his great-great-grandmother Brigid is unraveling after eighty years of neglect, and that the Dagda's own cauldron - the heart tying two worlds together - is dying. To fix it, Rowan will have to cross into a world of fae bargains, ancient threats, and impossible choices, with only a sharp-tongued guide named Wren for company. He'll learn that he was never chosen by fate or magic blood - just the first person in eighty years who actually listened.
The first book in the Tales of the Hollow Well series. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Land of Stories, and The Sisters Grimm. Ages 9-12.
(A personal note: this story was co-created with my 9-year-old son, whose imagination shaped Rowan's world from the very first idea.)
