This delightfully entertaining story introduces the reader to Meghan and Sean O'Sullivan, their three grandaunties, and Lucky O'Leprechaun, who has pestered the O'Sullivans since the time of the Vikings. As the lad and lass try and try to capture the tricky little fellow on St. Patrick's Day eve, children not only will be captivated by the brilliant illustrations and whimsical text but will also learn a wee bit about leprechaun lore.

Will they ask him for his pot of gold, or will they discover that some things are even more precious?
