Órla and the Giant's Challenge: Book 3 of The Little Legends of Ireland

Órla has never been the biggest, the loudest, or the fastest in her family - and her cousin Rían never lets her forget it.

On a family day out to the Giant's Causeway, a dare turns into something Órla can't simply outrun or out-shout: a crossing over jagged stone columns that Rían's longer legs can manage easily, and hers can't. Stuck, soaked, and thoroughly outmatched, Órla starts to understand the old story her Uncle Marty told her that morning on the rocks - the tale of Fionn mac Cumhaill, the giant Benandonner, and the clever wife who won a fight no one could win by strength alone.

Órla and the Giant's Challenge is Book 3 of The Little Legends of Ireland, a series that takes Ireland's oldest legends and tells them again through the eyes of ordinary children living ordinary days - a school tour, a riverbank, a family trip to the coast. Each book pairs a real Irish legend with a brand-new story about a child working out, in their own way, what that legend actually means.

Includes:

• 7 fully illustrated chapters
• A "Did You Know?" section on the real Giant's Causeway
• A glossary of Irish words and phrases used in the book
• An author's note and series guide
