TerraNova is a young adult fantasy adventure that tells the story of Athy, a troubled sixteen-year-old.
After her fathers tragic death Athy and her mother move to a little island off the south-west coast of Ireland, where she enjoys being alone, finding more comfort in words and books than people.
But she soon discovers she has a much bigger purpose in life than appeasing her anxious mother, when her best friend Byron, a Newfoundland dog, comes back from the dead.
An adventure ensues with his arrival - and her love for words, superb memory and even her unusual physical peculiarity prove very useful - while her stubbornness and previously held beliefs are tested to the full, as she uncovers that all is not as it seems.
