This children's chapter book for 7-9 year-olds offers an exciting woodland adventure set in Ireland. It is the second in the Gollogans series, which has been written to promote a love of reading and a love of nature.

Living close to nature, the gollogans must confront all the difficulties of life in the wild. In this second book of the Gollogans series, young gollogan Daffi is fed up with her woodland life and convinces her friends Monty and Bretia to find a "giant" house to live in. But can all the giants be trusted? And what might happen if things go wrong?

"The Gollogans in Winter is an exciting tale filled with adventure, mischief, and hope that will keep young readers (and adults) engrossed to the end. Beautifully written, with subtle messages of positivity, friendship, working together and trust, it educates on the plights of our natural surroundings while keeping children enraptured with an engaging storyline and loveable characters. Helen O’Sullivan has created an enchanting world, made all the more captivating by her storytelling. I can see this becoming a series children will read again and again." Pauline Tait, author of 'The Fairy in the Kettle.'
