WINNER KPMG Book of the Year ¿ Children¿s Books Ireland AwardsUnsung stories from ancient Irish myths re-imagined for nine to twelve-year oldsThere was a time when tales of Ireland¿s mythical goddesses ¿ their astonishing powers, bravery, and unbreakable bonds with nature ¿ were famous, in Ireland and beyond. But over time, these stories were lost, often replaced or rewritten to make room for male warriors and kings.Until Now.Girls Who Slay Monsters brings these heroes of Irish mythology back to vibrant, magical life. From ¿re, Ireland¿s fierce namesake, and B¿inn, a giant who overcame her bullies, to Badb, a gleefully gruesome death prophet, and B¿annair, a gender-fluid spy who challenged an entire army.
