Sa chúigiú leabhar sa tsraith Dialann Dúradáin, leanaimid Greg Heffley arís. Ach an uair seo, scéal taobh istigh de scéal atá ann, agus tá an scéal seo scríofa ag Rowley Jefferson le moltaí cabhracha (agus moltaí nach bhfuil cabhrach ar chor ar bith) ó Greg Heffley. Buaileann muid le Rowland agus a dhlúthchara Garg. Téann said ó áit go háit i mbun eachtraíochta fíorghreannmhara chun mátháir Rowland a shábháil ón nGruagach Geal. Tá an leabhar chomh barrúil agus spraíúil sin go mbeifeá ag rachtaíl gáire!

Book cover - Stick Boy and the Rise of the Robots

Stick Boy and the Rise of the Robots

This illustrated story ticks a lot of familiar boxes for fiction for young readers. Futuristic dystopia, check. The discovery of underground tunnels and rooms, check. Villain who is up to no good, check. Circle of friends who uncover the truth, check. But there is one anomaly. As the title suggests the central protagonist is a stick drawing in a world of regular people. Stick Boy goes to school in Little Town, and with his Mystery Mates, they solve mysteries together. This is the second instalment of his adventures, by writer and illustrator Paul Coomey.
