Children's book reviews: Unleash banshees, selkies, and pookas from these autumn pages

Children’s Books Ireland has some recommended reads from tots to teens for October

This month’s collection of books offers young readers a choice of magic and mystery or nursery rhymes and rom-coms to read about.

While the weather may have dramatically plunged us very firmly into autumn, spending more time indoors isn’t all doom and gloom with so many super new releases in the month of October — perfect for cosying up with in your favourite spot.

There is nothing more haunting than a book you didn’t finish reading, so this month we have plenty of page-turners to break the curse of readers’ block.
