The Silver Road by Sinéad O'Hart is an award-winning middle-grade fantasy adventure novel that draws heavily on Irish folklore and mythology. It is suitable for children aged 9 and up and tells the story of a young girl, Rose, who is entrusted with a powerful, magical stone and must embark on a quest to save the ancient magic of Ireland. The novel follows a girl named Rose Darke, who is dealing with grief over her grandmother's death, school bullying, and family financial pressure. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a Frost Giant appears in her garden one night and wordlessly entrusts her with a powerful, reddish stone. Seeking help from two eccentric elderly neighbors, Nellie and Gracie, Rose learns that they are guardians of the "Silver Road," an ancient network of magic running beneath the land of Ireland. This magic is fading, and an evil witch, Cethlenn, plans to use the stone to awaken a formidable monster, Balor, and destroy the world. Rose, a seemingly ordinary girl, must then protect the stone, find its rightful owner, and keep the magic alive, navigating a world where myths and legends are real. Illustrated by Manuel Šumberac.
