Shamrocked
Strange Enounters

By Linda Joy Singleton

     Shamrocked is the second book in the Strange Encounters series. Cassie Strange is bored with her life. She doesn't even get to join Club Glorious with her best friend Rosalie. Plus, her dad drags her off on another one of his debunking trips for his paranormal TV show. This time they're looking for Leprechauns -- everyone knows they don't exist -- maybe. In this adventure, Cassie and her brother Lucas discover the fun and mischief of "little people" magic and so do we. Many of the things they find on this magical trip are classic preteen wish fulfillment. I was reminded of the wonderful playroom from Escape from Witch Mountain -- a story from my own preteen life. The book is fast-paced and has all the craftsmanship you would expect from a veteran series writer. If you enjoy your mystery stories with a hint of the fantastic -- this book delivers. I would love to see this series continue for a long time.
