Holy Shocking Saints is an illustrated non-fiction book suitable for children aged 9+ years. It introduces the reader to twelve remarkable Irish saints: six men and six women. This list includes names that will be acquainted with most Irish households, such as St Patrick and St Brigid. Though these names may be familiar, you are guaranteed to learn things about their lives and experiences that you never knew before. However, the majority of the book acts as an introduction to lesser-known saints, such as Saint Íde: Foster Mother of the Saints of Ireland, Saint Ciarán of Clonmacnoise, and many more.
