This title is for children aged 9-12 years. Sixteen-year-old Kevin Murphy lives with his family in Estes Park, Colorado. When his family visits Ireland to explore his father's family history, Kevin thinks the trip will be a lot of sightseeing. Little does he know that his normal life will suddenly be turned topsy-turvy when he meets a real live leprechaun and discovers that fairies, ghosts, and demons aren't just myths. They're real and they're joined in this exciting story by other fascinating characters and creatures including the terrifying ruler of the Shadow World, the Father of Lies who is determined to steal Kevin's soul so he can again roam freely in Ireland. The six-book series, which covers over 18 months in Kevin Murphy's life, is filled with fantasy and adventure enshrouded in the history, myths, mythological creatures, legends, and geography of the five countries Kevin visits.
M. J. Smith was raised listening to Irish tales told by his mother and grandmother. Those stories, and their messages, have stuck with Smith throughout his life. After graduating from Marquette University with an MBA in business, he put his storytelling talents on hold and entered a career in the data and information management field. For more than 20 years he served as president of WestGroup Management Resources. When WestGroup was sold, and Smith decided to write the Kevin Murphy series, he visited Ireland five times to research the many details of the story to ensure their accuracy.
