A SPECIAL CHILDREN'S BOOK – PRESTIN AND THE BO**ER OATH!

We have previously received support from As Darragh Did, the charity established in memory of Darragh McGinley.

Darragh and his brother Conor created a funny homemade comic, influenced by their little sister Carla, featuring a mischievous boy called Prestin.

Their dad, Andrew, has now brought their creation to life in a hilarious children's adventure book called Prestin and the Bo**er Oath!

It's a wonderfully silly adventure for children aged 8–12, featuring a secret world inside our noses, rebellious boogers and a plot to unleash the greatest snot explosion the world has ever seen!

It's a lovely opportunity to support a local Irish author while helping the imagination and creativity of Conor, Darragh and Carla live on through laughter and storytelling.

If you're looking for a fun book for your children, please consider picking up a copy on Amazon.ie.

Prestin and the Bo**er Oath : Mc, Andrew, Hennessy, Caoimhe: Amazon.ie: Books

And remember...

PICK THIS BOOK, NOT YOUR NOSE!
