Bookroo's summary

Melody suspects her basketball coach, Mr. O'Grady, might be a leprechaun. As she and her friends spy on him, they notice his curious bond with third-grade teacher Mrs. Jeepers. Is there magic afoot, or is it all just a misunderstanding? With each practice, the mystery deepens, and Melody must decide if her suspicions are real or just a game. Can she uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Melody is certain that her new basketball coach, Mr. O’Grady, is a leprechaun, and soon she and the other children are keeping an eye on him and observing his growing relationship with third grade teacher Mrs. Jeepers.
