Rebellion in the Village, a new novel from Kids? Own Publishing Partnership, launches 13 November. This historical novel has been researched, written and illustrated by a team of 11 and 12 year old children in Scoil Ursula Primary School, Sligo.

Set in eighteenth century France, just as the Bastille is stormed and the injustices of life for poor people are everywhere to be seen, the story follows the adventures of 14 year old Leon, who is found at the scene of a robbery in the village of Pockseaux and flees to the forest. Here he encounters a band of young agitators hiding from the law and plotting rebellion.
