註釋"Iolar: The Eagle with the Sunlit Eye" is a young adult novel set in fourth century Ireland. A historical fiction with elements of fantasy, it revolves around the adventures of a 15-year-old Canadian boy, Kieran MacGuffey, who sets out from Belfast on a summer vacation only to find himself unexpectedly transported back in time. Why he arrives on the Burren in Ireland, and how he makes his way back to the twenty-first century, is an adventure story involving rivalries between Irish tribes, a teenage girl, fourth century Middle Eastern monks, an Irish druid and the unravelling of his father Jack's journal. With its cryptic notes on sea eagles, bird lore, ancient Ogham inscriptions, palindromes and word play, Kieran's father's journal holds the key to unexpected connections between the past and the present.
