Things go from bad to worse when Daniel's behavioural problems attract the unwanted attention of schoolteacher Sister Polycarp, and Daniel's misery is compounded when he crosses paths with local bullies. But through trial and error and with more than a little help from friends and relatives, Daniel overcomes his obstacles.
The strength of this novel rests with author Michael Raleigh's skill in presenting Daniel's view of the world, his life and the lives of those around him. The moments when Daniel faces his loneliness and remorse are touchingly narrated and handled with great sensitivity, while his inquisitive nature and encounters with a perplexing adult world make for hilarious reading.
In the Castle of the Flynns is an uplifting testament to all that's good about human nature. The portrayal of Daniel himself is both inspired and inspiring while his extensive family provides an assortment of hugely entertaining characters. Tragic, comic and heart-warming by turns, this tale of love, loss and self-discovery will linger long in the memory. --David Thwaites
