“Leprachaun in Late Winter” is about Jack and Annie who are sent to Ireland. They try to get Lady Gregory to realize that she does have gifts. Through a lot of frustrating times of helping her, they get her to realize her “gift” is in helping people and bringing back the Irish legends to help them understand their heritage and have pride in it. I would recommend this book to high school students because the vocabulary is a little more difficult compared to Osborne’s other books in the series.

Eleanor has decided she does not want to do reviews for books right now, but she liked when they got to see the leprechaun.

Quick read for the classroom.
Slightly notable in that Jack does not take his backpack this time. In Frogcreek he is working on his homework -- the assignment is to write a story -- when Teddy and Kathleen call the kids to the treehouse, and in 19th Century Ireland he uses notes jotted in a little notebook to write a song. A change from his focus on nonfiction.

Jack & Annie visit 19th century Ireland to encourage the young Augusta - the future Lady Gregory - to share her gift for Irish folklore with the world, and along the way they meet fairies, including a leprechaun . . .

My first grader is a huge reader and the librarian recommended this series. We have read many of them and they are fun and have a lot of fun facts and history in them.

I thought this one was cute because I like the Ireland folklore but it was such a small book. This entire thing happened over one day. I feel like it could have had somethings removed and added a ton! This one is number 43 and you can tell!

Generally speaking I’ve tired of the Treehouse books mostly because of how Jack’s dialogue is written. (Surely he’s learned to say something other than “Oh man!” when surprised?)
However, this one was generally enjoyable and we finished it as a read-aloud this morning.
