Dylan Maples is twelve years old and is about to go ocean kayaking with his parents for the first time. He’s spent a year convincing them that he’s ready for the dangerous challenge. But he’s been determined to go ever since hearing about the remote location of Ireland’s Eye, off the coast of Newfoundland.
Ireland’s Eye was once the most easterly settlement in North America. Now, it’s just a ghost village. So what is it about this remote place that captivates Dylan, making him willing to take such risks? Does the ghost town have anything to do with his recent dreams about his favourite grandfather who recently passed away?
And why does the old man on the St. John’s docks whisper “Don’t go to Ireland’s Eye” when he finds out Dylan’s plans?
