His dad in jail and his mum away campaigning for the environment, Lorcan is sent to stay with his Aunt Peig down in Connemara - to the very house where Che Guavara once met Lorcan's grandfather. Maybe it's his asthma that has made him a fighter, maybe it's the family history of supporting the underdog- whatever it is, Lorcan finds himself caught up first in Operation Snoop, then Operation Snatch as his new friend Blaise draws him into a crusade to rescue some ill-treated animals from a nearby island. Power to the Connemara Comrades!
