Once Every Never

Once Every Never, centres around Clarinet Reid, who is a pretty typical teenager. On the surface she’s smart, but a bit of slacker; outgoing, but just a little insecure; not exactly a mischief-maker… but trouble tends to find her because she happens to be a carrier of a centuries-old Druid Blood Curse. Through a single thoughtless act her Summer Vacation in Dullsville suddenly spirals into a deadly race to find a stolen artefact, save a Celtic warrior princess, right a dreadful wrong that happened centuries before Clare was even born, and if there’s still time—literally—maybe even get a date. With the help of her best friend and brainiac sidekick, Allie, Clare is about to discover there’s a lot more to “ancient history” than boring old textbooks have led her to believe. This is the kind of adventure that happens to a girl once every… never!
