Beanie the Bansheenie

Banshees are supernatural Irish harbingers of doom, but where do they come from? The answer: they grow in pods on the prickly gorse bush. The sole job of a baby banshee, a "bansheenie" as they are called, is to bond with a human. Once bonded, they know everything about that person. Most importantly . when they will die . Our bansheenie, named Beanie, is no ordinary herald of death. When she sees her person, a little girl called Rose, she decides to change her own - and Rose's - fate and instead of delivering bad news, Beanie wants to protect Rose and her family.

Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl , and Steve McCarthy, author and illustrator of the award-winning The Wilderness , join forces to turn a familiar myth of Irish folklore into a truly powerful, unforgettable and universal story of love, perseverance and friendship against all odds.
