Dozens of schools partnered together to bring to life this anthology of five original stories—each chapter written by a different class or school. There are so many whacky characters to meet including a dog who wears overalls, a suspicious taxi driver, and a six-legged dinosaur from Mars. Will Oisín the Orange be able to solve the Dublin mystery before a fruity disaster?

From the publisher: “In autumn 2021, Fighting Words and the DMR South Central Community Policing Units approached 20 schools to create new stories focused mainly on the south side, with one quick trip to the northside. The five Story Seeds - Autumn In The City stories were written in September and October 2021 at online workshops with the participating schools and teams of volunteer mentors and illustrators from Fighting Words. We think you will agree that each story is full of action and fun starring a huge range of inventive characters in adventures from the Grand Canal to the Gaiety Theatre, from the Guinness Storehouse to St. Stephen’s Green and everywhere in between. Congratulations to all the young writers for a fantastic achievement. Enjoy!”
