Book Reviews

This book will appeal to any child (4th grade and up) who has an interest in magic, leprechauns and adventure. Ms. Greer has a talent for tying together different parts of the plot, so that what might be difficult to follow, becomes easy to follow and understand, even for readers with short attention spans. The way the gift from the dead grandmother leads to the appearance of the leprechaun was interesting in and of itself. But then, to make the plot "thicken", Meg meets the leprechaun and is quickly taken to Ireland to meet her ancestors, gypsies, and various villains and heroes. I couldn't find anyone in the story who did not belong in the story - that alone would keep even a reluctant reader to continue.

The descriptions of the funeral, the fair and the farm were amazing. Details about the priest who didn't quite get the details about Megan's grandmother's personality was so real! I've met many priests like that- you're not sure if they are at the right funeral! I've never met a leprechaun, but Shaymus was a perfect combination of reality and fantasy. I could envision a child going anywhere with him, and not being at all afraid. I could easily imaging the scene with Meg throwing the water on Mr. Murphy.

Another very appealing aspect of the book is that there were serious conflicts - the potato famine, Meg's family losing their home in spite of her efforts to save them - being kidnapped and taken to the warehouse - all of those were serious predicaments, and, in the hands of a less talented author, could have seemed to not belong in a story with so many magical moments. However, I was not sure that this story would end well! Again, Ms. Greer keeps her readers guessing until the last moment. This is not a completely "rosy" book. There is sadness - the family losing their farm, the people dying by the side of the road, and the cruelty in the workhouse.

This is not a book about perfect people. Megan and her brother do not always get along, and Patrick is not immediately accepting of the idea of a new baby. But this just adds to the readability of this great book!

Megan and the Leprechaun begins with a life-altering event; the death of Megan's grandmother. While the locale is present-day Denver, the events after the funeral portend of journeys in and around olde Ireland. The Druid symbols and mysterious landscapes from the Ireland of the past which Megan (soon to be eleven) encounters combine with Ms. Greer's original poetry/song verses in the initial chapters of her book to set the scene for the colorful adventures on which Megan is about to embark. Gypsies, a leprechaun, other wee folk, farm animals and the Irish countryside step up to guide Megan's journeys exodus of Ireland's most precious commodity: its youth!

It is obvious that Ms. Greer has written a fictional account of her ancestral heritage; one that includes a richly detailed history of Ireland and its people's despair and desperation during the famines. Ms. Greer has sprinkled a cadenced magic throughout her initial chapters via her song/poetry excerpts...
"In a shadynook one moonlight night
A leprechaun I spied
With scarlet cap and coat of green
A cruis-keen by his side..."
Megan's good as well as bad adventures are thus chronicled with her trusted companions she has met along her journeys.

In reflection, I believe Ms. Greer provided the reader with an admirable account of Ireland's history and people. The initial chapters serve to set the stage for the non-stop action of Chapters 10-14; with characters Megan as well as the reader depply cherish.

Megan, an eleven year old who lives in Denver, is left a pair of magical glasses by her grandmother who has recently died. One night, she decides to get out of bed and get the glasses. She climbs back into bed and puts them on and there perched on the bedpost is Shaymus O'Shaughessy - Leprechaun.

Shaymus asks Megan where she would like to go and that her grandmother wants her to learn about many things. She tells him she wants to go to Disney Land. Shaymus says he will take her to a "real fair" so out the window they go flying far away. Megan arrives in Ireland as a lass living in the year 1842. And yes, right there is the fair; but, as reader soon learns there is much in store for Megan that is not at all pleasant.

This children's novel follows Megan as she goes from one harrowing adventure to another. She tries to help her farmer parents to keep evil Mr. Murphy from foreclosing on their land, lives in a cave where she finds artifacts (with Shaymus' help) that relate to her misadventures. Does Megan return to Ireland as her great great grandmother? The reader thinks so, but is not positive.This is a story for ages 7-8 to 10-11. The characters are well defined and the author creates a sense of place with the landscapes descriptions and language, as well as providing some humor.

There is a subtle teaching of values and love and appreciation of family that came before.

Joyce Greer spins an exciting tale of a young girl's adventures with a leprechaun named Shamus O'Shaughnessy. Megan can see Shamus only when she wears the little blue spectacles left to her by her Irish grandmother. After grandma's funeral in the Catskill Mountain area, Megan and her parents fly home to Denver, but Megan wants to learm more about her grandmother and her Irish family.

Using her magic spectales, she calls on the leprechaun to make it happen. The two fly back in time (without a plane) to the Ireland of the Irish Potato Famine when peasants were starving and homeless. She fines her family. while hiding in the wood from an evil landowner, Megan meets a band of roving gypsies who are also hiding from the law. She enjoys their campfires, dancing, and their generosity in sharing what they have. When they are captured and taken to jail, they escape, aided by some homeless people Megan had befriended earlier. She and her gypsy friends are smuggled to a seaport and transported to the United States. Megan is a home and now knows her roots, thanks to her leprechaun guide.

Magic, leprechauns, gypsies, good and evil, family history, friendship and family come together in this story with a firl as a heroine. Readers get an Irish history lesson, and because Greer writes in Irish dialect, the songs and poetry will delgiht the adult who reads aloud to a child. Older children may read it themselves to enjoy the musical language and revel in the adventures.

Except for photographs of actual places, color illustrations in the book are simple and beautiful, creating pictures that focus the reader on characters, the green landscapes and the light and dark adventures of this young heroine.

WILL AN ANCIENT LEDGEND WEAVE A YOUNG GIRL’S DESTINY?In a remote mountain village lives Grandmother Atl, a very talented weaver, and hergranddaughter, Nemimati. Nemimati wants nothing more than to help her grandmotherlive a better life, so she convinces her to enter a contest where the winner will receivethe title of royal weaver—and get to live in the comfort of the royal palace.Grandmother Atl sends Nemimati and her young friend, Mishtla, to gather thescarce magical beans from which a luminous golden dye can be made. Eventually,the children stop to rest near the ruins of the mysterious palace garden whereGoddess Tonantzin’s Ghost Tree of legend fortuitously appears and graciously fillstheir baskets. However, not until the day of the long awaited contest does Nemimatihear the miraculous tree’s appearance explained.This mythic tale is set in the pre-Columbian era of legendary Toltec emperorQuetzalcoatl. His legend proclaims him a beneficent sovereign who promotedheartfelt personal sacrifice for one another rather than the religious rite of sacrificedhearts practiced by other rulers. It is also stated that he presented his subjects withwealth and all knowledge.

Irmgard was born in 1940 in Esslingen, Germany. WW II was already in it's second year and she and her family spent most of the time in bunkers. During that time their mother made up stories to pass the time, a trait Irmgard inherited. In 1959 Irmgard immigrated to the United States, married and over the years had three children. In 1963 she became Citizen of the United States and is proud of it. Irmgard wrote a few short stories and a firm in California (CWW) published them in several booklets. This booklet with most of her fairytales combined will be her first official book.

The ageless enmity between fire and rain is an exciting attempt at explaining one of nature's phenomena to ease the questions that burn with curiosity of children,inspired by my own "precious wards"
