He's Castlerock College's star player and has just been called up to represent Ireland in the Under 16 Four Nations, meaning he must somehow balance intense training, matches, and schoolwork. Just as life reaches fever pitch, an old and trusted ghostly friend reappears asking for help, drawing Eoin and his teammates into a mystery reaching to the very heart of Irish rugby. The story mixes present-day competitive pressure with glimpses into rugby's past, as legendary figures help Eoin's band of heroes solve the puzzle. Siggins writes in short, energetic chapters, balancing on-pitch action - scrums, tries, tactics, and last-minute plays - with warmer moments of friendship and humour familiar to young readers juggling school and extracurricular pressure. The ghostly elements lean into intrigue rather than scares, making this an accessible mystery for readers not yet ready for anything too frightening. Themes of perseverance, teamwork, and respect for the game's history run throughout. Fans of earlier Rugby Spirit titles will recognise Eoin and his friends, while newcomers can enjoy this instalment as a satisfying standalone story.. Key Benefits:. Combines exciting rugby action with a gentle ghostly mystery.. Ideal for confident readers aged 9-12 who love sport and adventure.. Pa
