About the Book

A FUN FAMILY STORY FROM IRELAND

AN EARLY READING CHAPTER BOOK FOR KIDS WHO LIKE FANTASY, MAGIC AND ADVENTURE

A Children's Book From Ballyyahoo - The Magic Town On Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

Introducing Biddy, the crime-fighting witch of Ballyyahoo. If you like witches and you like fun, you'll love this very funny children's book set in the magical Irish town of Ballyyahoo.

When Gerry hears rumours that there might be a witch in Ballyyahoo, he doesn't know if it's really true. His mother says it's just idle gossip but others say there really is a witch in Ballyyahoo. Who is a boy to believe?

Then one day, he sees something strange and shocking in one of the quiet lanes of Ballyyahoo. He finds a magic stone that can show the future on a tiny screen. Gerry learns that a terrible crime is going to happen - soon!

It is not the type of crime that usually happens in Ballyyahoo - nothing to do with forgetting to put lights on your donkey, wearing odd socks, or picking hazelnuts in September.

No, this is a terrifying crime that starts with a big knife, a big burglar, and if Gerry doesn't do something, it just might end in murder.

Gerry desperately tries to stop this crime from happening, but nobody believes in magic stones and nobody believes Gerry.

Desperate Gerry needs help - magic help. There's only one person can save the day, but is there really a witch in Ballyyahoo?

The Witch of Ballyyahoo is a funny children's fantasy and adventure book and is suitable for children reading alone, or as a fun read to be shared with family.

REVIEWS

'This is a charming children's story that's just perfect for Halloween. Gerry thinks that living in Ballyyahoo is boring, but that's just about to change...soon gets swept along in an adventure of magic, witches, and burglars.

This book is easy enough for the younger reader, but intriguing enough that you will want to read it too. The characters are fun and engaging, the adventure rips along at a fair old pace, and I particularly loved the character of Gerry's mother, and her sister, Aggie. I can't recommend it highly enough!' Ali Isaac

'Ballyyahoo, Ireland is a dull place. Nothing happens here expect the occasional rumor - which, while entertaining, are just rumors. Or so Gerry thinks. One day, the rumor mill churns up a new one, craic (beautiful word, no? Means gossip in Ireland) that trumps all talk of serial killers or banshees that have preceded it. A Witch is supposedly in Ballyyahoo...Nothing will ever be the same for this once bored young man. I can't wait to see what Gerry is going to get into next!' Heather G

'...As always, Grace Jolliffe, with her quirky sense of humour, introduces us to the whacky set of characters who inhabit Ballyyahoo. Anyone who believes witches ride broomsticks and boil toads in a cauldron should read The Witch of Ballyhoo and meet a real live witch who travels everywhere on the back of her hoover and is determined to keep the people in Ballyyahoo safe.' J. Considine

About the Author: ABOUT THE AUTHOR Grace Jolliffe grew up in Liverpool but now lives on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. She lives with her husband, two dogs, ten hens, five lucky ducks and a large group of frogs. Grace spends most of her time making up stories, and after spending many years in admin jobs she happily admits she finds the fictional world preferable to the office world. Grace used to write for a children's radio show until the show was axed and the writing team replaced with a talking dog. This motivated her to find a new outlet for her work and so she began adapting her children's stories and publishing them on Amazon. When she's not making things up Grace loves walking around the wonderful Wild Atlantic Way. Her love of nature and its natural magic inspires her Ballyyahoo series of children's stories and you can visit this magical town and read some free stories on ballyyahoo.com Grace loves gardening and blogs about her efforts to tame her wild Galway garden at gracelikestogarden.com In addition to writing for children she writes thrillers and black comedy for adults. She has also written for television and radio, written and directed documentaries, as well as several award winning short films. Grace's first novel, a crime thriller called 'Piggy Monk Square, ' was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, optioned for film, and broadcast on RTE's Book On One.

You can also download your own free creative writing tracker to keep you motivated and organise your writing sessions. practicalcreativewriting.com/free-writing-tracker/ She writes all the articles and stories for her sites and takes all her own photographs.
