Eimear Conboye

Eimear spent most of her childhood reading books and dreaming up stories. After earning her BA in English and Philosophy, she worked as a bookseller for several years. She loves writing about elements of Irish history and holds a certificate in Irish Cultural and Heritage Studies. She also has a slight obsession with bees. Eimear’s favourite place in the world is West Cork where she enjoyed many childhood holidays at her grandparents’ home by the sea. Here the rugged landscape fed her imagination (and still does), always inspiring new stories.

The Ghost in the Oak Tree

An upper MG supernatural adventure about twelve-year-old Eva who has moved to Ballyback, a village in West Cork known for its connection with bees and environmental awareness. Eva is grieving the loss of her gran and believes it’s too late to help the environment. When a ghost who can’t remember his past enters her life, Eva decides to help him. But the more the ghost remembers, the weaker Eva gets. Is there a link between the two? And what are the bees trying to tell them? Will Eva be able to figure out the messages, help the ghost and find the strength to save herself before time runs out?
