"For Finn MacCullen, it’s time to Irish up.With a shout, Finn held the spear aloft. “Come along, ye manky beasties,” he yelled, throwing every bit of Gideon-ness he could into his voice. “I’ve a wee point to share with ye!” Gripping the end of the shaft in both hands, he swung it around and around over his head, creating a whistling sound. “Faugh a ballagh!”“The Spear!” Goblin voices screeched in panic. “The Spear of the Tuatha De Danaan!”“Yeah, you got that right!” Finn yelled back.When a power-crazed sorceress and the neighborhood pack of beast-like goblins team up and threaten both his master and his friends, thirteen-year-old Finn (not Finnegan) MacCullen does the only thing an apprentice monster hunter can do: he takes the fight to the enemy.And woe to the foe he meets along the way."
