Dermot O'Malley and the Lost Little Boy

About the Book

Dermot O’Malley and the Lost Little boy written by Patricia A. Richardson tells the story of a lost little boy named Justus Hendrickson.  He had walked a very long way searching for his family.  Tired, he stopped to rest in a meadow and falling asleep, he woke to find a very little old man wearing a green suit watching him.  The little old man was a leprechaun named Dermot O’Malley.

If anyone could help the little boy find his mom and dad, it must be Dermot O’Malley, a leprechaun who  has connections with other leprechauns.  The word went out and soon, a whole squad of leprechauns arrived to help search for the family  of Justus Hendrickson.  But will they find him?  Will there be a happy ending for Justus Hendrickson and his family?
