LISTEN TO AN EXCERPT FROM THE AUDIOBOOK:
Like the fun and inspirational quest in Goonies, Celtic Run's fast-paced treasure hunt will be irresistible to adventure-seeking readers!
Jake McGreevy, a 14-year-old gadget whiz, has just landed in Ireland when he stumbles upon the first clue to a treasure missing from the Spanish Armada. Jake sees the riches as his chance to buy back the family sailboat and restore a piece of the life he enjoyed before his father was critically injured in an accident. Desperate to find the treasure, Jake teams up with Zach—his nemesis and class bully—and two girls, Julie and Maggie, in a clue-hunting chase across the Dingle Peninsula. Dodging would-be thieves, exchanging wisecracks with Zach, and concocting ingenious devices to get them out of scrapes, Jake leads the team as they connect piece after piece to the more than 400-year-old mystery.
Reviews
“Romance, danger, intrigue, and personality clashes between peers — all make Celtic Run a vivid coming-of-age novel, drawing direct connections between life’s changes, opportunities, strife, and the process of maturity. . . . a memorable adventure story."
—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, DIANE DONOVAN
"Celtic Run by Sean Vogel is a fast-paced, action-filled coming-of-age novel in which Jake, a smart but undersized eighth grader, goes on a trip to Ireland with his arch-rival Zach and discovers much more than his Irish roots."
—READERS' FAVORITE, 5 STARS, KAYTI NIKA RAET
"The high-speed thriller CELTIC RUN will not only transport and enchant young readers, it will inspire them to consider life’s longer view and to double down on preparations for a meaningful future."
—THE CELTIC CONNECTION, MARY McWAY SEAMAN
