Summary
Summary
The people of Dublin love to talk and laugh, but when the Black Dog of Depression arrives, the city’s funny bone goes missing. Dads won’t get out of bed, mothers no longer smile at their children, uncles lose their businesses.Raymond and Gloria have had enough, and so one night—the night before Saint Patrick’s Day—they set out to find Dublin’s funny bone and get rid of the Black Dog, no matter what it takes.
Brilliant is about humor in the face of hard times, a perfect story for families to read together, by an author whose keen sense of human frailty and resilience has resulted in many beloved books for adults and children.
