What a magical book! My 7.5 yr old daughter read this and loved it so much she begged me to read it. She said "it was the best book ever", and she's read a lot of books! She can't stop talking about it. I read it and enjoyed it. I understand why she loved it so much. We've ordered the other two in the series and can't wait to read them. What a fun and magical world Ms. Singleton has created!

Shamrocked is the second book in the Strange Encounters series. Cassie Strange and her peculiar family embark on journey to investigate leprachaun sightings. Cassie and her brother Lucas romp through the mountains and encounter a magical world filled with secrets. Young and old readers will enjoy this engaging story and delight in Ms. Singleton's fascinating characters.

I loved exploring with Cassie and am eager to see what adventures befall her in her next book!

Cassie and Lucas are befriended by Hank, one of the little people living underground in Mount Shasta. He takes them to his home, and they have so much fun they begin to forget their own world. But when Cassie remembers and they try to leave, Hank tries to stop them. So Cassie helps Hank solve the problem he didn't want to talk about, and he shows them them way out. And Cassie knows if she can solve Hank's problem, surely she can solve her own. And she does!

It was great to find this book on the recommended titles table in my favorite little bookstore!

First of all, I love the title. Second of all, I love the girl named Cassie who is having all her adventures up there at Shasta.
Cassie is definately a character to root for!

The writing is lean. Universal emotions play through the book.
Your kids will love it. They will really be able to root for Cassie!
