With the evil Leprechauns (The Shangaar) hot on their trail, who would ever guess the fate of the Littlest People would fall on the shoulders of a 10-year-old human girl named Clara Gooday? Her unwavering belief in the Littlest People may be the very thing that saves The FunGkins and all Halladon from a fate worse than death. But first, she will have to deal with the evil Mr. Mustashio, he is one hundred and fifty years old but doesn't look a day over forty. Working for the evil leprechauns, he has moved into the funeral home next door, masquerading as an undertaker. But why have he and his sly talking dog, Snodsty, come to town? Clara is sure Mr. Mustashio is evil and is out to capture the FunGkins. With her trusty magic telescope in hand, she can become invisible at will. Armed with her bag of tricks, it's her plan to watch every move the seven-foot-tall skinny man and his talking dog make. Clara Gooday lives in Pirates Cove, a small town on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The town has strangers living there. With their bird-like features, they are even stranger looking. Some are good, while others are pure evil. They all came to Pirates Cove the day Clara was born. But for what reason are they there? Who is Clara really? What secret does she hold? What if she's part of the legend foretold? Clara has many questions, but when she meets two FunGkins, she and her Aunt Tilly are shrunken down to size and whisked off to the magical world of Mushroom Valley. There all her questions will be answered. Accompanied by her Aunt Tilly, a school teacher, Clara's journey will take you on a roller coaster ride of an adventure. One where there are so many twists and turns that there are just too many to mention. So, if it's a thrilling adventure you have been looking for-- buckle your seatbelt and hold on tight, for this is a ride you can enjoy all day and all through the night.… (more)

This is a very visual read. What do I mean by this? The descriptions of the fairies, leprechauns and other characters, along with the settings are so well described you can see them in you mind. It is like reading and watching a movie at the same time. Because Clara has always believed in the little people she is the one that fate has decided must save them. The plot moves at a quick pace so it will keep those reluctant readers turning pages. I felt this was better suited for upper elementary to lower middle grades.

I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own. ( )
