I thought it was ok, but it could have used another edit. (

A book similar to my favorite series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and almost just as good. If you loved Percy Jackson, you'll love Jamie O'Neil. (

Jamie O'Neill is many things -- he's an only child, an amputee, a cancer survivor, a transplanted New Yorker, and most recently, Laird o' the Muck. When Jamie and his mother inherit a small island (Muck) just off the coast of Ireland, they leave a dismal, hand to mouth existence in New York City for a much brighter future. A new friend -- one who doesn't care that Jamie doesn't talk and has only one arm -- and a real house with a roof that doesn't leak are nothing to be sneezed at. But the real prize in Jamie's new life turns out to be the old lighthouse on the island. There's something very strange about it. Could the old myths about travel to a strange land be true?

The first of a planned trilogy, McGinty has crafted a tight, well-conceived tale with plenty of high adventure, but with serious undertones. Volume one ends a bit abruptly, but if the second volume is close to hand, it shouldn't put readers off too much. (

When Jack O'Neil's mom inherits an island in Ireland, Jack and his friend Ramsey discover a Salmon, which transports them to Alden, where they meet Wishaway, a girl waiting for them to save the Aldenese from the invading Alkhavans. The two boys have no clue how they can help but are determined to try. Book 2 is called The Lighthouse War. (
