Set in a bleak, contemporary Belfast, <a href="http://opac.clarelibrary.ie/search/q?author=Wilkinson&amp;title=Grounded&amp;sortdropdown=-&amp;searchscope=1">Grounded</a> is the story of a talented show-jumper from the wrong side of the tracks and his struggle to cope with his responsibilities as a boyfriend, son, employee and friend. <i>Grounded</i> is the sequel to Sheena’s debut novel <a href="http://opac.clarelibrary.ie/search/q?author=Wilkinson&amp;title=Taking+Flight&amp;sortdropdown=-&amp;searchscope=1">Taking Flight</a>, which won both the CBI Honour Award for Fiction and the Children’s Choice Award in 2011, as well as an International Youth Library White Raven Award and a 2012 IBBY Honour List place for Ireland.

Inis magazine described it as ‘An exciting read for lovers of horses and underdog stories’ and the website ponymadbooklovers.co.uk rated it “5 horseshoes – excellent! One of the best pony stories of the year.” Clare County Library is delighted to announce that Sheena Wilkinson will be one of the authors who will tour our branches during Children’s Book Festival in October 2013.

'Our inspiration for this documentary was a film Tony McMahon made of the Fleadh in Listowel, County Kerry in '73. It's a very powerful piece of work and it struck both of us like lightning. It really captures the spirit of the place, the people and the time. There are glorious performances throughout and really critical interviews with some giants of the age. As a Kerryman myself I love the way McMahon's camera interacts with the many faces of the Fleadh. We see so many of them in his film. It's a folk festival and the director introduces us to the people, the best a filmaker can do. I think seeing it woke us both up to the importance of trying to highlight the virtues of something really vital that might be get missed and lost in time otherwise. If you can capture the essence of what something stands for at a particular time then it becomes a valuable document just like 'Listowel 1973'. That's what took us to Milltown Mallbay.' Donal Dineen. Filmed by Donal Dineen and Myles O'Reilly. Edited by Myles O'Reilly."
