"The Discovery of Finnegan Wilde" is the first Red Maple 2026 nominee I've read and it's going to be difficult to top this book. The story is set in 1913 Dublin and includes the voices of Finnegan, Eddie, and Tomas. Finn is a young girl living on the streets who has no memory of her past. Eddie is an apprentice archaeologist who works at the local museum with his father. Tomas, a ninth-century monk, is the subject of Eddie's recent investigations. Through an unfortunate incident, Eddie and Finn's paths become entwined and the two work together to uncover the story of Tomas and Ireland's mythological past. Their journey is filled with adventure, magic and the unravelling of Finn's past. This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it to lovers of realistic fiction, historical fiction and fantasy.
