Fifteen-year-old Ned Marriner accompanies his photographer father to France, where he is working on a coffee-table book. As Ned strolls along roads walked by Celtic tribes and Roman legions, he discovers a very old story playing itself out in this modern world of iPods and cell phones. On one holy, haunted night of the ancient year, when the borders between the living and the dead are down, Ned, his family, and friends are shockingly drawn into this tale. Some descriptions of violence. For senior high and older readers. 2007.
