  'A delightful new heroine for kids' Sarah Breen, co-author of the Aisling series
  Milly wants to win a medal for Irish dancing, just like her neighbour Abbie Horgan. But Irish dancing takes talent, and Milly's skills are in short supply. No matter – a second-hand wig, a fancy frock and a pair of poodle socks ensure she at least looks the part.
  But if there's trouble to be found, Milly will find it – and when she's subbed into a dance group at short notice, there's only one way things can go … disastrously!
  From sick students to sprained ankles, it's quite the performance from Milly and co. The feis is turning into a fiasco …  and they'll be lucky to get home in one piece, let alone with any medals!
  'Set to be a firm favourite' Irish Examiner
  'Highly recommended' Irish Independent
