Morgan Llywelyn took her highly regarded novel, Lion of Ireland, and toned it down for a young adult audience. She does a very good job of keeping the excitement and charisma of Brian Boru's struggle to unite his people, while cutting out much of the political intrigue and background information.

Though it is not as good as Lion of Ireland, I do recommend this book for teens. Show Less
