Finn Connolly

Finn Connolly is the youngest of the Connolly children.

Biography
The autumn prior to the start of the novel, Finn's parents were killed by a capall uisce while they were out fishing, leaving him, Puck and Gabe to fend for themselves. Puck and Finn earn money by painting teapots for tourists and making cookies for the local shops. Sometimes they struggle for money and only have beans to eat.

Personality
Finn enjoys tinkering with things, such as broken chain saws, and takes them apart or puts them together, often becoming engrossed in his task. He saves any spare parts in a box underneath his bed. He is a neat and meticulous person.

He’s pretending to look annoyed with the repairs, but I can tell that he is actually cheerful to be doing it. It is against Finn’s code to reveal too much happiness

he’s really caught in that strange no-man’s-land between child and man

Appearance
Finn is small in size and has dark hair.
