Ruairi and the River That Ran Uphill

Ruairí Faolán

Twelve-year-old Ruairi Faolan knows water is supposed to run downhill—until the stream outside Harbour House School climbs the yard and an old Ravenmere ledger knocks beneath his hand. When a century-old ferry ticket appears with his name on it and a sealed school wing opens onto an impossible stair, Ruairi learns the town once borrowed ten children from the river and never properly returned them.
