"The quality of The Magic Tree House books really increases once you get to the Merlin Missions :-) Reading this book makes me want to watch an old Disney movie I grew up called "The Gnome Mobile". Leprechaun in Late Winter is a great choice to read around St.Patrick's Day."
— Dustin (5 out of 5 stars)
" Malcolm says, "I liked the Shee. I liked the leprechaun. The full name of the leprechaun was Willy. That's it." "
— Sarah, 2/18/2014" This book would make a great St. Patrick's Day gift! "
— Stephanie, 2/15/2014" I can't believe Esther and I have read all 43 of these books together. She adores them and while they have a definite pattern to them (like Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, etc.) they are very educational, imaginative, and fun. My four year old knows something about all sorts of subjects now - tornadoes, Greek mythology, pyramids, Louis Armstrong, the Mona Lisa, and Camelot! What a wonderful series! "
— Heather, 2/15/2014" 3.5 stars. I liked this one. It didn't make me cry like the last one we read, but it was still up to the usual MTH level of storytelling. I like the lessons of self-worth and believing in the power of your own imagination. And as always, I love that Annie is such a strong, smart character - what a good role model for young girls. We're looking forward to the next book and to finishing out this series over the summer. "
— Patti, 2/4/2014" Jack and Annie need to help a spioled rich girl to get inspired the only question is how? "
— Sam, 2/3/2014" I've always enjoyed the Magic Tree House Series. In this book, Jack and Annie travel to Ireland in 1862 to help Lady Augusta Gregory see Shee (faeries) so she can write down all the legends of the faeries. "
— Karen, 1/31/2014" I liked it because it was magical. "
— Lucy, 1/28/2014" well it started like ter was a boy and a grul nemd ainny and the boy was nemd jack "
— Jonathanlee, 1/20/2014" I like when Jack and Annie finish their mission and wrote about it. "
— Sutsadah, 12/10/2013" Even though it was below my reading level, I always enjoy Magic Tree House books. Another great one! "
— Kayla, 11/26/2013" One of the best book I have ever read. "
— Thi, 11/21/2013" Reading this in our after school reading program. Love the historical aspects of this series. Allows for good extended activities. "
— Cynthia, 11/12/2013" Book #43 in the Magic Tree House series set in Ireland in the last half of the 1800s. I did not know the author featured in this book, Lady Augusta Gregory but I learned she is credited for recording Irish legends and folk tales. Hmmmmm......learned about someone new. "
— Jodi, 11/4/2013" Another tale of Jack and Annie. I liked this story because of the Irish folklore elements. My kids prefer nonfiction books and this book had enough nonfiction to keep interest. "
— Kelly, 10/7/2013" Although definitely a children's book, this was quite interesting, with some history of where some of the Irish folk tales and beliefs came from. A very short, easy read for me, but I was fascinated. "
— Joy, 9/14/2013" My son and I have been reading all the Magic Treehouse books. Some loves and asks for again and again and others don't really interest him. At first glance he wasn't interested in this one, but once we got a few chapters in, he didn't want me to put it down. "
— 8feetahead, 8/29/2013" They meet with Lady Augusta Gregory who learned Gaelic and wrote plays and stories about Irish Wee People. They help her to learn that she has a purpose. "
— Mary, 5/27/2013" Another in the popular Magic tree House series this one kept my son extremely engaged. He enjoys anything that has to do with magic and fantasy. This was a good introduction to Irish fairytales and leprechauns. "
— Dionne, 4/4/2013" Recently re-read in the spirit of St. Paddy's. Sophia loves the magic of Ireland's "shee" stories. I admit that I do too. "
— Erica, 2/3/2013" My kiddos like this series and enjoyed me reading it to them. "
— Jeri, 10/17/2012" Library. Really fun. I liked when Jack and Annie met the leprechaun because he was trying to blow the Irish whistle and it was neat. The leprechaun knew Mary, the woman they were going to get. "
— M-girl, 8/19/2012" Dunno why, but I didn't like this one as much as I liked the other books I've read in the series so far. Perhaps because the "famous person from history" that Jack and Annie encounter wasn't one with whom I was previously familiar. But, hey, I learned about someone new! "
— Joyce, 1/18/2012" I don't mind reading these books to my boys. This one was one of the better ones and had really neat pictures! "
— Carly, 8/6/2011" We had so much fun reading this one and stayed up way too late because it was just too exciting to stop! I love how the kids get so into these stories :) This one was my favorite so far. I really wanted to find out what was up with Augusta! "
— Lisa, 7/27/2011" Another great treehouse adventure for the kids read aloud......and stuff about Ireland for mama...bonus;) "
— April, 4/2/2011" I haven`t read the last book of the series yet but I bet it will be great. "
