The Oracle by Tania FayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A young Irish Canadain lass of twelve finds herself thrown into a land of fantastical creatures after the recent death of her father when she makes the pilgrimage to her father's homeland of Ireland to scatter his ashes. Author Tania Fay uses her own life experiences and heritage to focus her writing talent on educating others on the folklore of Ireland. Along the way, you will be entertained by some pixies, elves, selkies, witches, warlocks, and dragons but you will also learn some Gaelic. My only concern was the many similarities it had with some of some of the other YA stories on this subject, i.e., Harry Potter. Overall I enjoyed reading this story; it is well worth reading, there is some great dialogue, good sound characters, and an adventure that saves others while learning about ourselves. I look forward to more adventures with Eile and her friends.
