Book 2 in the Strange Encounters series is filled with treasure maps, a wannabe pirate, leprechauns, and adventure.
Author Linda Joy Singleton brings us book 2 in the Strange Encounters series, Shamrocked! Written for pre-teens, Shamrocked (Llewellyn Publications, ISBN 0-7387-0594-2) is an adventurous story with treasure maps, a prankster, and maybe even a leprechaun.
Cassie Strange's father, a TV celebrity whose show debunks urban legends, takes the family on a trip to the mountains to prove that the local legends about leprechauns are not real.
When they arrive at the Golden Shamrock Resort, a prankster is doing his best to make the working vacation unbearable. Who can this prankster be and why is he causing so much trouble?
Mr. Truelock says a leprechaun is playing the pranks. Cassie's father feels certain that the prankster is a regular person. It's up to Cassie to stumble on to the truth.
Singleton has done a wonderful job tying Shamrocked to her first book in this series, Oh No! UFO! The story she weaves is spellbinding, bringing in numerous elements from a multitude of legends and folk beliefs: leprechauns, alien beings, and even Atlantis.
