The Legend of Spud Murphy

by Eoin Colfer

Will’s house is chaos—an annoying older brother, three wild younger ones, and now, to make things worse, Mum’s sending him and Marty to the library for the holidays.

But this isn’t just any library—it’s ruled by the terrifying Spud Murphy, known for her spud gun and strict rules. Rumour has it, one wrong move and you’re done for.

Yet, as the days pass, Will and Marty discover something unexpected: a love of books… and maybe even a soft spot for Spud Murphy.
