In the 1890s Conor and his family live on the sovereign Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast. Conor spends his days studying the science of flight with his tutor and exploring the castle with the king's daughter, Princess Isabella. But the boy's idyllic lifestyle changes forever the day he discovers a deadly conspiracy against the king. (Goodreads)
Definitely one of my favourite books of all time, incredible character development and excellent writing bring this book to the top of my list. Colfer brings great characters out of his hat for this novel: The adventurous Conor; blind Yankee Linus Wynter; and loyal tutor Victor Vigny. Humorous flairs are peppered through the story, which brings the book excellence on many levels.
9.0/10
Thanks and happy reading!
