The New Policeman

THE NEW POLICEMAN: Kate Thompson: Greenwillow Books: Young Adult: 442 pages

Time is leaking from J.J. Liddy’s Irish town into the land of the fairies, causing problems in both worlds. When J.J. crosses over into the fairies’ world to try to stop the leak, he helps solve an old family mystery and discovers the true identity of the new policeman in town.

Thompson has spun a clever and imaginative tale that has already won several British awards and is sure to receive praise on this side of the pond as well.
