Book Excerpts
It figures that on my
sixteenth birthday, that some retarded family trait would stop me from
having a normal life; I’m already a dork at school now I’m a freak too.
As I woke up, my family was
around my bed. Mom and dad were on either side of me sitting on my bed, while
my grandparents were at the edge by my feet. They were all smiling at me, well
everyone but mom.
“What’s going on? Why is
everyone in here? Am I dying? I cannot be dying or else you wouldn’t be
smiling, would you?” I asked.
My dad held a mirror for me, I
tried to reach for it but I couldn’t, my hands and arms were too small! As I
looked into the mirror, I started screaming… I thought I was looking at me. It
looked like me, but I was tiny, very tiny.
“You have become the next
generation leprechaun of the Burkes clan.” Granda beamed.
Okay that explained it I am a
leprechaun. Wait I am a what? No way no way no way…
“Are you out of your freaking
minds? Leprechauns don’t exist, so how can I be a leprechaun?” I
demanded.
“Garritt, every mythical story comes from some truth,” Dad claimed.
The word leprechaun was
running through my mind; me a leprechaun; a small person with a pot of gold and
a rainbow. Holy crap. How could I be a leprechaun, I do not even like green,
and I do not like money, let alone gold. Okay so I am a leprechaun, how can I
hide this? How did my family hide this? There had to be a way to hide it or a
way to get rid of it. I never knew my families were leprechauns so that has to
be a good sign so I can hide this too, right? I have to clear my head,
think straight.
Review:
Such a fun story. This story was fun to read. The characters are memorable and people you
could be friends with. I enjoyed
spending time in this world. The
characters are not perfect. They have
issues of their own, but they are people you would like to hang out with.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
