By the time I wrote this book, Mr. McAllister and I had become very good friends. He trusted me even though I was a “Big One”, and I trusted him even though he was a wee one. I guess we learned that it doesn’t really matter what someone looks like, or where they come from, as long as they are a good, kind person, that’s all that really matters. And I can tell you – we really didn’t look alike at all. He was ten inches tall and I must have seemed like a giant to him, but we were fabulous friends. That’s why I was so surprised when he shared something with me that he had never told anyone before. Sometimes things seem so much clearer when you have a friend to talk with. And that was just how it was with us.

Halloween is such a fun night – there’s candy everywhere, crazy costumes up and down the street, spooky decorations and even some kids causing mischief. In Leprechauns in Disguise, Mr. McAllister learns a little about Halloween and what it really means to be brave. I must warn you … there’s even a little bit of leprechaun magic at work in this one!

As you read Leprechauns in Disguise, I have a feeling you’ll laugh, you’ll be surprised, you’ll be a little worried, you’ll laugh some more, and you’ll be very proud of my wee friend.

Sometimes when I am reading a book, I like to think about what I would do if I were the character. Thinking about the characters in this way helps you to really, really understand what it’s like to write a book and develop characters and events, problems and outcomes.

This is a story you’re sure to enjoy, even if you don’t have a wee little leprechaun by your side.

Once again Sandy Barton conjures up a pot of pure gold. Intertwined in the tale are life lessons in courage, friendship and the simple joy of taking the road less chosen. All of this makes for a wonderfully entertaining tale with a rainbow of colorful characters.
