Dear Mrs. Schafer:
The book Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball, is very good. It is about four kids that are
trying to find out if their teacher is really a vampier and if their P.E. sub is really a
leprechaun. Howies grandma is from Ireland, so he thought she would know a little about
leprechauns. They find out that leprechauns can only be away for three days. Also, that
the leprechauns stole a brooch from the vampier and then the vampier got it back, so now
the leprechauns are trying to get the green brooch. Their teacher Mrs. Jeepers is the
vampier who stole the green brooch and is wearing it around her neck, and Mr. O'Grady the
P.E. sub is trying to get it. Finally, at the end he doesn't get it and leaves and he
says that the school is not big enough for a leprechaun and a vampier.
My reaction to this book was, I really thought it was good. I loved this book because it
was easy to read and understand. I would recommend this book to people who like short
books. My favorite part was when Howie and them were talking to his grandma. The author
did not use any writting styles.
My favorite character was Eddie. I liked the way he played all of his practical jokes. I
think I would of reacted to the conflict the same, because I would of helped my homeroom
teacher before my P.E. teacher.
