The Rescueteers’ Christmas Mission: Book 2

What if you were called upon by the king of the leprechauns to rescue Santa Claus from the wicked Banshee of Raven's Point? The two bravest nine-year-olds in Ireland, their equally courageous greyhound, and five leprechauns are ready to embark on a very important mission-to save Christmas for everyone. After renewing their willingness to once again be Rescueteers, Nanny Reilly, Ned Franey, and Henry Daly soon discover the Banshee and her skeleguards are on high alert awaiting their arrival. Even worse, she has installed a wish-blocking device that surrounds the entire Banshee's Cradle. Suddenly, all the Rescueteers' wishes and their magical shillelagh-waving are worthless. What will they do? As they attempt to liberate Santa and punish the almost comically wicked Banshee, the Rescueteers soon realize that they may never return from their mission to the Banshee's Cradle. In this charming and magical adventure story set in the Irish mythological world of leprechauns and banshees, the Rescueteers unearth secrets and a deep underworld woven beneath of the Banshee's Cradle-secrets that have the power to affect all of them ... forever.
