Max McDaniels is an ordinary kid living in Chicago. One day, Max and his dad visit the Art Institute. Max wanders off and stumbles upon a tapestry depicting the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Soon after, Max finds himself at a fantastical school, where hags and ogres cook the meals and the mansion decides what furnishings are in your room. But not all is well at Rowan Academy. Someone is kidnapping future students, and rash of thefts have left art museums searching for missing paintings. What does it all mean? Is there someone out there who's trying to reawaken a powerful evil? An evil that will seek to control Rowan Academy and everyone in it?
The Hound of Rowan is new twist on the ancient battle of Good vs. Evil. It is imbedded with ancient Celtic myths and laugh-out-loud humor. The book is serious when it needs to be, but not so serious that it borders on being boring.
