JACK AND THE HOLLOW HILL (BOOK 1)

Eight-year-old Jack is heartbroken when his father doesn’t return from fighting against the Viking invaders, and he feels even worse when he must leave his home and move to a new village.
When he gets there, Jack becomes friends with the confident Ashling but also encounters Padraig, a threatening bully who’s the son of the village’s richest man.
Jack soon begins to suspect that humans aren’t the only inhabitants of the new village; the signs of the wee folk are unmistakable. But when an unseen menace threatens what’s left of his family, Jack has to use all his wits and courage to unravel the secret of the Hollow Hill.

JACK AND THE JARL'S PLEA (BOOK 3)

After the happiest summer he could remember, Jack is suddenly summoned to heal the Jarl of Cork, an important ally of the king who is very sick. If Jack can’t find a way to help him, war would consume all southern Ireland. But Jack is reluctant to get involved because he doesn’t know what is causing the illness. And worse—much worse—the Jarl is a Dane, just like the ones Jack’s father had fought against for so long. Will Jack help an enemy to help his country? Will he listen to the Jarl’s plea?
