Adventure, mystery and wry humor propel Bernadette’s Crepeaus’ juvenile fantasy, The Brooklyn Leprechaun, published by Outskirts Press, along a fast paced narrative romp from the streets of Brooklyn to the myths and legends of the Irish countryside.
Can a Brooklyn teen take down the Goddess of War, Crepeau’s subtitle asks, not to mention save her family’s land in Ireland, expose a murderer, and stop covert terrorist activity? Bridget is a street smart Brooklyn teen, but her two week vacation in Ireland suddenly starts to become more than she can handle.
Bridget is challenged by the former queen of faeries, the king of leprechauns and one eccentric Irish aunt, but sometimes her greatest concern is what the cow patties or ancient catacombs will do to her favorite pair of Jimmy Choos.
Finally a Brittany Spaniel teaches Bridget she can focus, she can trust and, most importantly, she can let go of her fear. At the end of her adventures with a handsome wizard, a real life Pirate Queen and a host of other mystical critters, Bridget learns the strength of family and those values that are important for her to live by.
The author has dedicated this first book of her Leprechaun Trilogy to Head Start because, as a child of Irish immigrants herself growing up homeless in Brooklyn, Bernadette Crepeau was introduced to a Head Start program that worked with the entire family and helped her turn her life around.
The Brooklyn Leprechaun is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/
