Is leabhar deas gleoite é Tic Teaic Tiú atá lán le rannta do pháistí ó thraidisiún na hÉireann. Tá sé amhrán ann ón mbunleagan, Gugalaí Gug, ach anois is féidir éisteacht leo trí chnaipí a bhrú sa leabhar fuaime seo, a bhuí le Futa fata. Tá sé lán go barr le léaraidí gléineacha agus fuaimeanna áille agus mholfainn go hard é do thuismitheoirí má tá páistí óga acu sa bhaile.
Más breá le do léitheoir óg an ruaille buaille, an greann rancáis, agus leabhar chomh greannmhar sin go mbeidh siad ag pléascadh amach ag gáire, bainfidh siad an-sult go deo as Lúiscín. Tá cat Jamie Smart (a tháinig ó ghreannán The Phoenix ar dtús) le feicéail anois ina imleabhar bailithe féin agus tá sé chomh fiáin agus a gheallann an teideal!
‘Níl seans dá laghad ann go mbraitheann Nick an bealach céanna [fúmsa] … nó an mbraitheann?’ Sin an cheist atá ag déanamh tinnis do Charlie sa chéad leabhar Heartstopper. Ach tá deireadh le héiginnteacht agus le crá croí faoin tríú leabhar, más aon chomhartha an sliocht seo as dialann Nick: ‘is buachaillí muid go hoifigiúil agus is breá liom é sin a rá’.
Seo againn arís Éabha, laoch óg de bhunadh Inis Mara, agus í ag dul i ngleic le tubaiste mhillteanach eile. Cé go bhfuil seantaithí aici ar na bithiúnaigh santacha atá i ndiaidh theacht i dtír, beidh dúshlán roimpi stad a chur lena gcuid scéiméireachta. Ach nuair atá d’oileán, do mhuintir agus do phobal faoi bhagairt ag bithiúnaigh shantacha, nach í Éabha féin an cailín is fearr leis an dúshlán céanna a shárú!
From the very first page, the narrator insists, ‘I am NOT a dog!’ As the story unfolds, comparisons with different dog breeds reveal why this scruffy little character feels he could never measure up. Strong, fast, clever or elegant – every dog seems to possess a quality that he believes he lacks.
