"An old-fashioned tale of tall talk, high ideals, and irresistible appeal . . . You will not read a historical thriller like this all year . . . Egan] is a master storyteller." --Boston Globe "Egan has a gift for sweeping narrative . . . and he has a journalist's eye for the telltale detail . . . This is masterly work." -- New York Times Book Review In this exciting and illuminating work, National Book Award winner Timothy Egan delivers a story, both rollicking and haunting, of one of the most famous Irish Americans of all time. A dashing young orator during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life. But two years later he was "back from the dead" and in New York, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. Meagher's rebirth included his leading the newly formed Irish Brigade in many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War. Afterward, he tried to build a new Ireland in the wild west of Montana--a quixotic adventure that ended in the great mystery of his disappearance, which Egan resolves convincingly at last. "This is marvelous stuff. Thomas F. Meagher strides onto Egan's beautifully wrought pages just as he lived--powerfully larger than life. A fascinating account of an extraordinary life." -- Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat "Thomas Meagher's is an irresistible story, irresistibly retold by the virtuosic Timothy Egan . . . A gripping, novelistic page-turner." -- Wall Street JournalBinding Type: Paperback

Wonderful Story, But Small Print
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My son really likes this book. He usually doesn’t enjoy reading much, but this one caught his interest right away. The illustrations are great, and the story is engaging too. He finished the book in just two days! I already bought the second one and am thinking about getting the whole series.
The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the letters. It wasn’t very easy for my 9-year-old to read on his own, and sometimes I had to help him.

Big fan!!!
Format: Paperback
Such a wholesome story great for all ages. I've been a fan of Meesh for years on Instagram and when I saw there was a book... I HAD to get it. I read it in about an hour with interruptions form a puppy. I absolutely love the illustrations and story. The quality of printing was fantastic and I am looking forward to the next one!

Fun and engaging book!
Format: Paperback
This book was just what my 8 year old was looking for. She loved it! She has a great imagination and loves to play, but not always read. This held her attention and she finished it in a day! Now she’s begging for the second book!

fun, diversity filled, read
Format: Kindle
I think this was a great fantasy book with lots of magic about friendship, courage, and finding your identity, whatever that may be. I liked how even if demons seemed bad at first, they are just different. Everyone is.
