Synopsis

Teresa Bateman is a librarian who writes the stories her kids want to hear. Once upon a time, there was lots of luck in Ireland-and plenty of leprechauns around to enjoy it. But when the Big Folk came, they started soaking up all the luck for themselves! So the king of the leprechauns ordered all luck locked away for safe keeping. But now Ireland is in the middle of the potato famine. Can Fiona outsmart the Leprechaun King and release Ireland's luck? "Bateman's original story brims with the entertaining hallmarks of folklore and fairy tales."-Publishers Weekly
