Darragh Martin grew up in Dublin, where he often daydreamed about the DART train going somewhere more magical than Howth Junction. He was given a Fulbright Scholarship to develop his writing in 2006 and has been living in New York City since, where he teaches literature at Columbia University, writes plays and admires trees. Darragh is represented by the Lisa Richards Agency and has a website at www.darraghmartin.com. This is his first novel for children.

'A new star of the fantasy genre ... Kids will gobble up this magical treat. The Keeper is far too good for my liking. Martin must be stopped.'
