Summary

'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

    "Joe," I said, concerned, "hit the brake!" "I am," Joe said, pumping the pedal now. But the car didn't slow at all. The traffic light turned red as we hurtled toward the intersection. And suddenly I saw the one other car out this early on a Saturday morning - a huge Express Delivery truck! Joe screamed. I leaned forward, bracing myself against the dashboard. There was nothing we could do. It was speeding right at us!
