Narvla’s Celtic New Year is a teen
novel about Narvla who is an American teen who’s mother becomes the American Ambassador to Ireland. Moving to Ireland is not something
that Narvla wanted wanted to do during her senior year of high school. She is
a step dancer with dreams of attending
her dream University Notre Dame. She
feels out of place in Ireland because she’s an American, but when she meets Dublin Boy AKA Colin a teenage boy
who plays guitar in the park next to the American Embassy. With all those
things stacked against her she sees her dreams slipping away.
But will living in Ireland for a
year give her new dreams? Or will living in Ireland lead her to finding
herself, and learning to be true to herself.
Narvla’s Celtic New Year to me is more than just a teen fiction novel
set in Ireland it is a teen travel novel that is above anything else about
finding yourself and following your dreams. And the friendships that are forged
along the way.
Once I discovered the book was
set in Ireland I knew I had to read. I love books set in Ireland, and the fact
that this was a teen book was another plus. This was only the third teen book
that I read set in Ireland. There doesn’t seem to be that many books set in
Ireland for teens and there needs to be.
This is also the first book that I’ve read by Lynne Therese Gilardi but it will not be the last.
I received this e-book from Netgalley
in exchange for an honest review.
