Three young children move into an old, rundown house where they are amazed to meet Magic Murphy, a nine-inch tall leprechaun, living in an old oak tree at the bottom of their garden. Through the power of Murphy's magic, they embark on a journey they could never imagine in their wildest dreams. Come with Susan, Mark and Steven as they discover that magical worlds do exist - you only have to believe !

When the full moon is tinged with green it's known as a Hoonraki Moon when Leprechauns from around the world gather at the Riddle Tree, which gives forth three clues which lead to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is on such a moonlight night that Murphy takes the three children with him to the enchanted world of Rakidom. The Pure in Heart Gruins, Moragan the Witch, Ramagor the Dragon and Magic add to the adventure, Murphy the hero is forced to choose between the pot of gold and saving the lives of the children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoonraki Moon (Murphy Stories) 13 Mar 2011
By JED
Format:Paperback
What a wonderful story, which I found impossible not to read in the instructed "Murphy's rules" voices. The story opened my imagination and took me back to my childhood as I read it out loud. I can't wait for the next installment.
