Author Sinead O’Hart will visit Portlaoise Library to read from her new book, Ellora McGee – Trainee Banshee. This event is aimed at young readers, aged 5 to 8, and involves a reading from the book and a chance to undertake some banshee-themed activities, like designing your own wacky banshee hairstyle or imagining the funky filling in a pooka cake.

Sinéad O’Hart lives in the midlands of Ireland with her family. She writes books for children, including: The Eye of the North, The Star-Spun Web, Skyborn, The Time Tider, The Silver Road and Skyborn (all for 8+), the Lola and Larch series, and the Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee series, both for younger readers. She loves going for walks, autumn weather, getting things in the post, and (of course) reading, writing, and being creative. If she couldn’t be an author, she’d probably be an artist – and she DEFINITELY believes in fairies!
