The New PolicemanHarper Teen
After discovering the truth to a mis-told piece of family history, J.J. Liddy grows even closer to his mother and her ancestry. Now he's determined to get her what she asked for her birthday: more time. After letting a family friend in on the secret, J.J. discovers himself suddenly thrust into a world that only existed in traditional Irish folktales, not in real life. Although he's looking for more time in Tir Na nOg, J.J. discovers a lot of things about himself in the search.
WARNING: Throughout the book there is a fatally injured dog, the injury somewhat graphically explained, that cannot die because time does not exist in its world. For dog lovers like me, it's sad but manageable. One or two swear words.
Personal opinion:
I really enjoyed this book, all except for the whole injured dog thing. It was a mystery and had a ton of musical undertones that completely fascinated me. It was a really quick read and was hard to put down. It's got good morals and is a great story, you can't go wrong.
