About this series
Frankie Sparks thinks it’s funny, but it ’s a fairy tale . After all, everyone knows leprechauns aren’t real.
Unlike Frankie, her best friend, Maya, is convinced that leprechauns exist. In fact, she tells Frankie that there’s a leprechaun living in her backyard! So Frankie decides to build her
biggest invention yet: a leprechaun trap! And since her trap will be foolproof, it makes sense that the only reason she doesn’t catch them is because those magical creatures are just
make-believe.
But after a few clues, Frankie begins to have her doubts. Will Frankie and Maya discover this lucky charm is real?

Be able to be left alone for the weekend. Frankie thinks that a rat-just like the rats in her beloved Aunt Gina's lab-would be the perfect fit.
