A Very Good Chance

A Very Good Chance

Author(s): Sarah Moore Fitzgerald

Location(s): Dublin, Siena

Genre(s): Children

Era(s): Contemporary

Set in Dublin and Siena, with its dizzying, dare-devil Palio horse race, this is a story about taking chances, being brave and learning the best way to see the world. 

Some people step through a wardrobe to find adventure, but Minty follows the twisty-turny trees into Nettlebog. There she finds Ned Buckley – the moody, mysterious boy who never talks at school. As Minty’s world disintegrates around her she searches for refuge in Nettlebog, and she discovers more about Ned: he’s able to ride wild horses. And he knows things about the human race that will save her.

Or there’s a very good chance at least.
