Clipper the Hurl's Campsite Adventure

In this new rhyming story, Clipper journeys to France with his owner Lucy on a camping holiday filled with sunshine, beaches and new friendships. When an unexpected mishap separates the pair, Clipper is swept into a whirlwind adventure across campsites, skateparks and the open sea before finding his way home. Along the way, the story celebrates courage, teamwork, kindness across cultures and the unifying joy of sport; delivering a warm and reassuring message for young readers.

Katherine Scanlon, a teacher and lifelong sports enthusiast from Turloughmore, draws on her deep belief in the power of participation to help children build confidence, resilience and lasting friendships. Her writing reflects a passion for encouraging young people to get involved, be active and, above all, have fun.

With its vibrant illustrations and engaging rhyme, Clipper the Hurl's Campsite Adventure continues the popular Clipper series, bringing Irish sporting culture into a playful international setting while opening conversations about travel, teamwork and belonging.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Katherine said she hopes the new story will "inspire children to try new activities, make friends wherever they go and believe in their own bravery when things don't go to plan."
