Five students from Scoil Mhuire Naofa in Rhode have written 'The Rise of Evan O'Connor'.
Five Offaly students have become stars in their local village, after writing, publishing and selling their own book.
The 5th class pupils Connor Murphy, Keenan Owens, Thomas Quinn, Rory Claffey and Tadhg Murphy completed the Junior Entrepreneur Programme through Scoil Mhuire Naofa in Rhode.
The book titled 'The Rise of Evan O’Connor' tells the story of a young GAA player’s journey to All-Ireland success.
With over 200 copies sold, they have been selected as one of five standout schools from almost 400 participating in the programme this year.
11 year old Keenan Owens says the love for GAA in Rhode village inspired the story:
