Beyond the Cherry Tree
'For those with a taste for fantasy, Joe O'Brien's Beyond The Cherry Tree is a quirky somewhat eccentric fantasy which has elements reminiscent of CS Lewis's Narnia series and a strong sense of the natural.'

The Crokes are doing well at football this season and are hoping to finish ahead of rivals Barntown in the League. But things aren't going as well in Danny's personal life; his dad, Mick, the Croke's coach, is having a hard time - he's worried about losing his job, and his oldest friends' daughter, Clara, is sick and needs an expensive operation. But GAA is like one big family, and when Danny and the Crokes hear that Clara is the captain of her GAA team in Boston, USA they're determined to raise money for her. Though there are a few hitches along the way - like trouble with Trinity, the girl he has his eye on - between training, school and a fundraising football marathon, Danny and the Crokes make this a season to remember!
