Shooting from the Lip (secondhand)

Description

Challenging, provocative, funny, tragic – all of life is to be found in these inspiring creative offerings from Mayo’s teenage writers.

Whether the dilemma of a young pregnant girl faced with the choice of ending her term or seeing it to fruition, the masterfully ridiculous scenario of two old ladies daringly going the wrong side of the law, the ugliness of bullying in all its sinister forms or the unexpected hilarity that surrounds the bringing of the Sam Maguire back to a long starved western county, these stories stand staunchly as testament to the imaginative skills of Mayo’s young writers.

This collection stems from the Reading through Writing through Reading project which was initiated by Mayo County Library and funded by the National Reading Initiative.
