This is the 21st book in the Mandie series -- it takes place in Ireland. Of course, everything is about green shamrocks, leprechauns, and finding magical pots of gold.

However, Mandie makes a new friend of a poor Irish girl named Molly, who is searching for a leprechaun's pot of gold. My only complaint about the book is that it seems as though Mandie, herself, started believing in leprechauns! All the previous Mandie books have had wholesome stories that are readily believable, so I guess I was a bit surprised at this new addition.

While in Ireland, Mandie finds out some news from her grandmother, that is on the bittersweet side. Overall, I did like the story.

To finish off my summary of the book though, this big leprechaun chase even leads up to a scary fire that leaves lives completely altered forever.
Even Mandie's life is effected...

Mandie, Celia, Jonathan, Mrs. Taft, and Senator Morton are touring Europe during the summer, and now they're at Belfast, Ireland. Mandie meets a little girl named Molly who is constantly looking for leprechauns. Mandie is eager to see a leprechaun too, so she and Celia join Molly in her search.
But one night something terrible happens. A fire breaks out in a linen mill and Molly and her mother are trapped inside. Mandie dashes inside to save Molly, and they both come out unhurt. And if things couldn't get more exciting, Mandie comes face to face with the mysterious woman who's been following them through Europe!

Of all the books about Mandie in Europe, this has got to be my favorite. Maybe it's because it's not really a mystery, but about a small, dirty girl who wins Mandie's heart. Molly is so cute; its no wonder Mandie loved her!
After reading all about the mysterious woman, it was nice to finally find out who she was.
This book is a must read, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

This book is absolutely so wonderful! It is a must-read!

This book ends Mandie's trip through Europe in the Summer of1901. Mandie, Celia, Jonathan, Senator Morton, and Grandmother are inIreland when Mandie meets a little Irish girl. Molly is searching for leprachauns, and Mandie and her friends help. Uncle Ned shows up, and helps the search. Their trip is for some reason cut short, and they must return home. Mandie has no idea why, and Grandmother isn't talking. Everyone seems to know something Mandie doesn't. It's a good story, and a great conclusion to the European trip. At the end you also discover who the "Mysterious Women" is, and why she followed them. It is a book that lives up to the Mandie name.

I just finished reading this book and I'd recommend it to everybody. It's a real page turner, I couldn't put it down!I was so scared in the moment that Mandie was in the mill that I actually started to shake! I was really surprised by the ending. It caught me completely off guard.I also really liked the chapter that had the play in it.I was also really surprised when a certain character (dealing with Jonathan)showed up. The bible quote at the begining was really showed in this book. It is one of the greatest Mandie books ever wriiten!

I like this Mandie book. I like how they are traveling through Europe. I especially like when they are traveling in Ireland. I'm half Irish myself. I hope you make alot of Mandie books in the future. Because I love them I love them I love them!!

Hi! My name is Virginia Sulpy and I'm 14 years old. I have been enjoying this series since I was 11, and have read every one of the 29 there are at least 5 times, so I consider myself a sort of expert on critiquing these. In this book, Mandie and her companions are in Ireland, where Mandie immiediately becomes interested in Leprachuans. Deterimined to find one, she teams up with a little girl named Mollie, who is an orphan. Mandie encounters many dangers on the way, such as a drunken man. She also learns some lessons on controlling her quick temper, when she hurts her friend Jonathan's feelings. I highly recommend this book, and one of the highlights of the story is when she actually risks her life to save Mollie's. Mrs. Leppard, if you're reading this, please keep on writing more Mandie books!
