Frankie Sparks and the Lucky Charm

It’s springtime in Ms. Cupid’s class, and she reads the class a story about an unlucky leprechaun.

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?
