• Alex Apple - Lost in the Supermarket

One night in the supermarket, Alex Apple goes missing and so Alex’s friends set off to bring him home safely.

Children will be drawn into a fascinating rescue mission, all the while learning the benefits of different fruits and vegetables and planting seeds of healthy eating habits.

From Cathal Carrot’s supersonic vision to Barbara Broccoli’s strength, the fruits and vegetables use all their superpowers to save Alex.
With striking illustrations by Alex McNaughton, it will captivate children and educate them on the importance of good nutrition.

It is the second book in Oonagh Armstrong’s Granny Mai series. Her first book, Granny Mai Eats The Rainbow was published in 2022 and told the charming story of how fit and strong Granny Mai was because of her healthy eating habits.

Oonagh is a Primary School Teacher and a Nutritional Therapist based in Castlebar, Co Mayo. The idea for the Granny Mai series of books came from a combination of her two passions: children’s education and nutrition education.

She became inspired to start writing because she saw a need for more fictional books to inspire healthy eating in children. The hope for this book is to help parents and teachers alike, to encourage children to eat healthily and become educated on the importance of good nutrition.


Mayo Books Press is based in Castlebar, Co Mayo and publishes internationally. Authors include writer and documentary maker Manchán Magan, former Mayo Gaelic football star Andy Moran, Keith Duggan of The Irish Times, former Irish Independent GAA Correspondent Liam Horan, renowned historians Anne Chambers, Ultan Cowley and Noel Campbell, novelist Paul Soye and newspaper columnists John Healy and Máirtín Ó Maicín, to name but a few.


Established in 2021, Mayo Books Press is borne out of the Brennan family’s experience of owning Castle Books in Castlebar, learning to identify topics that should be written about and books of Mayo and Irish interest that need to be written and read. They have published 20 books so far with many more titles planned for 2024.
