In their second holiday adventure on Inish Álainn, the Chingles, Cassie, Thomas and Nancy, join the Sun Goddess Áine in her dangerous quest to find her sister Finnen who “is hidden among the stars.”
Their search for the swan maiden takes them into perilous other worlds in Europe and America and even the glamorous world of Hollywood movies. But their special powers seem useless against the wicked sorceress, Caithlín of the Crooked Teeth, who has vowed vengeance on the Chingles for their defeat of her husband, Balor of the Evil Eye.
Will they learn to crack the mysterious Ogham code and master Celtic battle craft to find Finnen and defeat their most deadly enemy yet?
In their third holiday adventure on Inish Alainn, the Chingles have to take on the underworld of Eastern Europe when four babies, including their twin brother and sister and baby cousin, are kidnapped.
But not only are they up against Vladimir the evil crime lord, they discover that he really is in touch with the dark powers of the magical Underworld.
To find the missing babies they must enlist the help of Slavic gods and goddesses among the world of Eastern European mythology. They also have to take on the terrifying powers of the Baba Yaga, a hag who eats children.
But to rescue the babies the Chingles face their biggest battle yet – against the forces of the “undead”, a vast army of Vampires.
