New Boy in Dublin
Synopsis
[from the book jacket]
Coady's family was delighted when Cousin Michael, with his city clothes and manners, came for a visit. They sat round the cottage fireplace and listened for hours to wonderful stories about Dublin and about the fine hotel where Michael worked. But when the family heard the reason for his visit to take Coady to Dublin to work in the hotel with him Mum and Dad weren't sure they were really glad that Cousin Michael had come at all.
Coady didn't know if he would like city life, but he knew at once that he wanted to go. In Dublin he might be able to earn enough money to buy a new gold ring for Mum. He had promised himself he would do that.
Nothing in Dublin was the way Coady thought it would be. It was always raining. The old streets were wet and gray. Work was tiring, and Cousin Michael never even had the time to take him to Dublin's famous castle. Worst of all, it seemed that Coady would never be able to earn enough money to buy Mum's ring. But Coady learns that the sun can shine in Dublin.
In New Boy in Dublin, Clyde Robert Bulla has written a warm, poignant story that perfectly captures the spirit and atmosphere of Ireland.
