"Through the Portal" is a collection of short stories created by a group of thirteen incredible young writers in Rang Maher's fourth class. These girls are first time authors and have spent a tremendous amount of time perfecting their stories. Their individuality shines through each story, with everything from dragons and princess to forest fires and candy-filled lands making an appearance. This collection was masterfully illustrated by David Mahon, who worked closely with the girls to ensure their stories were brought to life. I urge you to pick up this book and delve through the portal, into the minds of this incredible future generation of writers.

I am a Primary School teacher based in Dublin, Ireland. I am the proud teacher of a group of fantastic and bright young girls who are determined to share their stories on the global stage. Their first printed book is "Through the Portal", which is a collection of short stories they have written. I hope that this is the start of a lifelong love of writing for each of these young girls.
