Summary
Little Island Books have announced they will take over salesand distribution of Teenager’s Book of Life by Tony Griffin, which has sold 30,000 copies across two editions since 2021 despite having no trade distribution. The publisher has also commissioned Griffin, a former ClareAll-Star hurler, to write a new non-fiction book for teenagers provisionally titled Spark: The Inner Game for Young Athletes, due for publication in 2027. Drawn from Griffin’s work with young people in schools across Ireland, the book addresses issues such as friendships, emotions, love and loss, and has been praised as a positive counterpoint to the “manosphere” and negative online influences. Tony Griffin joined Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus.
