Fantasy fiction unearths new star
Tadhg White’s success is the second in the last two years for Scoil Mhuire Community School in Clane, Co Kildare. The third-year pupil’s story,Voyage of the Nereus, wowed the judges in the 2013 John West Fantasy Writing Competition, who described it as mysterious, haunting, and powerful.
The gripping tale describes how the pair of reluctant adventurers deal with the magic of nature and the fear of death, with an ending worthy of a top mystery writer.
