Her only friends are the dragonflies who flit through the shoulder high bulrushes growing along the creek's banks. Iris discovers the dragonflies are more than they appear to be and that she is the key to resolving an age-old battle between light and dark, good and evil. She has the ability to unleash the power of the Earth to restore the balance that has been lost. This however is not what the Solaris have in mind. They are the world's most powerful Evil and Iris is the only one who can stop them! Will Iris and her friends be able to win this battle?

Review:
The title suggests that this book is about a person called Iris and dragon flies, and yes they do feature in the book, but I would describe the book more about an Irish adventure. The child Iris gets taken there by her family to see her grandmother and has a big adventure. The book has dragons, ghosts, the must have nasty man and lots of mystery.
I initially started reading the book with my daughter as I thought being about a little girl it would be suitable for her. It didn't take long for my older son to over hear some of it and he decided to join us, so I had let him catch up. They were both hooked on the story line and the characters instantly. I was asked constantly to read more until all too soon it was over.
Their response to it "this is a story full of adventure that is suitable for all ages and both boys and girls".
It is easy for them to comprehend, yet interesting enough for an adult to be gripped by it. The writing style is not too complicated for them to understand but it does challenge them enough to ask questions. The writer draws you in with a good descriptive writing style.
I would give this book a 5 out of 5 and highly recommend it to anyone with children in the 9-12 age group.
