Bansi O'Hara

Bansi O'Hara is about to discover two facts that will change her life. Firstly: she has the blood of the faeries running through her veins. Secondly: the faeries want it back...

Bansi O'Hara hopes her dealings with the faery folk are over. She couldn't be more wrong. When a strangely dressed man, whom nobody else can see, takes an interest in her mother, Bansi is drawn unwillingly back into the world of Tir na n'Óg. 

Lovely things people have said about 
the Bansi O'Hara books:

"A fairy tale that doesn’t let up on the adventure quotient... [and] takes the reader in and out of two worlds at breakneck pace. Any child would love to take that ride." livemint.com
