Young Pegeen, one of the good friends Francie made on his trip around the Emerald Isle, has just lost her Grannie. When she is told that she can't stay on alone in the small mountain cottage, Pegeen remembers Francie's promise to come for her in a white ship. With Fr. Kelly's help she writes to the O'Sullivans and finds herself welcomed into their household until she should hear from her uncle in New York. No one, except perhaps Francie, is quite prepared for Pegeen's knack of turning the world up on end. Her spirit is a perfect match for his, but two such personalities in one small cottage on Bantry Bay have startling consequences--all of which add up to a lively and unforgettable Irish tale. Lovely illustrations throughout. Ages 8 and up
