Description
Ellora’s pooka grandad is visiting and he’s given Ellora some magical seeds to help her with her schoolwork. The seeds grow into a Listening Lily, which has petals that look like ears and grows magical leaves with the answers to whatever questions it hears! It’s a great help at first, but when it begins to grow out of control and starts sprouting random information – like a spell to make a person’s clothes magically turn inside-out, and ‘facts’ that turn out to be silly lies – Ellora doesn’t know what to do … She knows it’s just her grandad’s pooka mischief, but if she doesn’t do something about the magic flower fast, she could be thrown out of Shee Le Chéile NS!
