Beschreibung

Schools rugby star Eoin Madden has never been busier – he's captain of the Junior Cup team, he's training with Leinster and hoping to be chosen for the Ireland team for the first-ever Under 16 World Cup. But it's not all fun and games, as Eoin also has to deal with grumpy friends, teachers piling on the homework – AND a ghost on a mission that goes back to the very origins of the game of rugby. But what does the restless spirit need, and can Eoin help him? Books, crooks and rucks - it's all to play for this term!

Thanks, as always, to Martha, Jack, Lucy and Billy who give me room to write Eoin’s adventures, and to Mum and Dad who have been encouraging me to read and write for all my days. Thanks too to everyone at The O’Brien Press, but especially editor par excellence, Helen Carr.

Chapter 1

Eoin hauled himself out of bed and checked the bruises on his legs. He was still hurting from the tough week he had just had, helping the Leinster team to win a European tournament in London.

It had been a great experience, though, meeting and playing rugby against boys from several countries, and getting a chance to test his developing skills – and play in another international stadium. He wondered what his pals Dylan and Rory had been up to since they got back, too, but he would see them soon enough.

He peeled back the corner of the curtain and watched as the rain bounced off the pathway outside. Today would be a day to pack the bags for his return to school – something he wasn’t entirely thrilled about, but that was coming up fast.
