Molly O'Malley is a clever, adventurous girl. She is also a Dwerg. Dwergs are strange folks who live very quietly in the Catskill mountains, have lots of gold, and are kind of like dwarves (but also not!). Molly isn't interested in cooking and weaving, as she is expected to be. So, she sets off to see the world for herself. Which means a new job, a trip to New York City, prowling gangsters, an adorable king, a city witch, and many historical ghosts....

"When the McSweeneys' pot of gold is stolen, they go from being a family of lucky leprechauns to being the unluckiest leprechauns who've ever lived! Now it's up to young Hap to change his family's fate. If he can get the gold, he can lift the curse! Join Hap McSweeney and his pals in the daring tale of adventure. All they need is friendship, bravery ... and a little luck!"--Page 4 of cover.
