Irish Town

By: Matthew Meagher

Narrated by: Giancarlo Herrera

Ashton is a broken-down town in Powder Valley, somewhere in the Rocky Mountains and is trying to survive gentrification from its wealthier neighbor Cherry Ridge. It’s nearly conceding its territory, but their teenage leaders Irish, Jester, along with quartermates Benny, Curly, Twitch, and Mars stand in the way.

Ashton High is the pride of the town and has a cruel but glory-filled history of being past champions of The Powder Match, against the Cherries. The Cherries, led by Sonny Gatson, live a life opposite to the kids of Ashton High, and he will do anything to keep it that way.

Rose, a mysterious new resident, arrives with a plan to carry the Ashes to prominence that involves a snowboarder Christmas Daye.

Great book!!

I had the great pleasure of receiving a copy of “Irish Town” from its marvelous author Matthew John Meagher for my honest opinion. I have to say that this YA novel was beautifully written by Mr Meagher and evoked deep emotions based on its look into a society where social status/class differences prevail. He reached into history and our present day society to create this touching book.

We follow along and watch the interaction of teenagers who must overcome horrific social injustices and work as a team. They must use whatever they can and thus we are witness to violence, loss, love and hate to try to bring about change.

I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars. This is a definite must read!!

Not Only For The Irish

What a great book.
It took me a while to get into it at first, but once you're in you want to keep listening.

You can completely empathize with the main characters. you empathize, you feel it and understand it.

looking forward to reading/listening from Matthew John Meagher
