Eleven year old Fiona and her younger brother Bran are carried back two thousand years to ancient Ireland, where they help young Finn McCool battle his way into legend.

Characters tumble into each other's dreams and dreams shift into reality.

In the Winter of the Big Snows, Huntley and his baby brother Beau, discover a strange but endearing creature in the ravine behind their house -- an australopithecine, -- a creature between monkey and man.
