"Finding Tir Na Nog" a brief synopsis

Reilly McNamara, the protagonist of this YA magical realism story, is an unusual and sensitive 15 year old boy with multi sensory abilities. His best friend, Eilam, is an old guru from another time and place who owns a kayak hut. His worst enemy, Travis Jackson, is a billionaire scientist who owns the marina near Reilly's island home. After someone he loves dies in a tragic accident, Reilly is led to a magical stone which was used by his great-grandfather to travel back and forth to Tir Na Nog--a magical place of endless beauty and riches. Once Reilly learns the stone can bring to its rightful owner whatever is their greatest desire, he also begins a series of mystical journeys through various portals. Each time Reilly returns to the real world with enlightenment that guides him in his assigned task to help others find their own innate gifts. But Reilly must also prevent Travis from discovering the power of the stone and destroying the imagination of others with his latest invention of a time travel device called The ROCK--drug-laced-laboratory-fabricated-stones. When a beautiful girl unexpectedly enters his life, can Reilly continue to trust his heart without questioning what he wants most? With the help of an albino dog, a talking cedar tree, and ancient petroglyphs, Reilly discovers how and where to find his greatest desire. Finding Tir Na Nog is about understanding the universal connection between imagination and following one's own heart.
