Legend has it that most leprechauns are content spending their days counting their gold and playing tricks on unsuspecting mortals in Ireland, the land of their births. A few have managed, intentionally or not, to find their way to America. This delightful follow-up story to Lucky O’Leprechaun reunites young readers with the O’Sullivan family and the leprechaun who has pestered them since the time of the Vikings.

As the O’Sullivan girls make plans to join their parents in the New World, their uncle offers them his most precious (and secret) possession—an ancient box full of valuable Irish treasure! The sisters insist that dear Uncle Paddy keep the treasure for himself, but he—and a certain sneaky leprechaun—have other ideas.
