Book Details
I can't understand how I got lost while in Ireland. Now I don't know my way back to the castle. I don't know what I'm going to do.
After Sunday morning service at the Baptist Church in a small town in Georgia on a bright spring day, the Moss family gathers as they do each Sunday, for a meal, fellowship, and fun. Aunt Hazel has been thinking about where to vacation that summer and asks, “Who would like to go to Ireland with me?” So begins a great adventure, when a group of women—nieces, daughters, and cousins—take Aunt Hazel on a vacation to Ireland. There, they quickly hear stories about leprechauns, fairies, witches, and pots of gold at the end of rainbows, but this happy group doesn’t let things such as long-ago legends bother them. After all, it is in the past, right? Right. But then Aunt Hazel spots a leprechaun, and is further astounded when the leprechaun speaks to her… Should she talk back or run far, far away? The trouble is, she can’t remember the way back to the castle where her family awaits.
