Review Detail

Oona is back with her friend, the Tooth Fairy, Lucy, and her cousin, Horace, to solve the mystery of why the glitterberries were stolen. It becomes clear that the Leprechauns are behind the theft and are also causing more mischief with Lucy’s job.
Lucy and Oona try to stop the thieves and Horace tries to get them to talk with the Leprechauns to find out why they are mad. It was interesting that while the Leprechauns are being treated as a nuisance, Lucy has wronged them and doesn’t see what she has done as a problem.
When Lucy and Oona see that what they have done was wrong, and atone for their actions, making it a heartwarming tale of conflict resolution. Oona gets a lot of credit for her magical solution and gets the special privilege of serving on the council for magical relations. That seems like an ill-gotten gain. Horace is the one who knows the fairy rules and is advocating the whole time to try to talk to the Leprechauns, so I think it makes more sense for him to get the honor.
The chapter book is highly illustrated, and the text is all green, making it a festive choice for a book about Leprechauns. It continues to be a story with fun and silly magic, making it a great book for beginning chapter book readers and a younger audience than it is marketed for.
