Series: Callahan Family Saga

Sixteen-year-old Michael Callahan is even more confused than the average teenager about who he is, having been born in Bolivia and adopted as a baby by an Irish-American family in New Mexico. Determined to lock in a self-identity, he enrolls in semester abroad in a prestigious Irish high school, where he finds himself in a totally new environment-geographical, social, and academic. He quickly slams into conflict with Irish authorities, with his Irish host parents, and with his school.

His skateboarding skills help him make friends. He encounters his first love-the feisty, fascinating, and lovely Ciara. Together they stumble upon a Russian Red Mafiya ring trafficking young girls through Ireland.

Unable to convince Irish and American authorities of the human trafficking, Michael, Ciara, and their skateboard friends are faced with the most dangerous choice of their young lives-pursue the murderous Russians and save the girls or simply ride away to save themselves.

Reviews for The Irish Skateboard Club

Be prepared to catch air with a teenager from Taos, New Mexico as the hero and an Irish lass as a heroine. The Irish Skateboard Club's perilous investigations into Dublin's human trafficking kept me turning the page through that last tension-tight scene and nails a TEN with courage, humor, and - yes - romance! -Parris Afton Bonds, New York Times best-selling author of The Brigands The Irish Skateboard Club is a masterpiece, fast-paced and exciting! The language is spot-on and the story line is a mixture of adventure, coming-of-age, with a chillin glimpse into the internal workings of a global human trafficking ring. No age borders on this thriller! Kudos to Colenda! -Jacqueline Boyd, PhD. Author, and former Director, Moreno Valley High School. Nationally ranked Charter School, Angel Fire, NM
