Summary

What if we learned already as children, that we feel much better about ourselves if we pay attention to our thoughts? How could we change the world and what we think about ourselves and the world? The little dolphin Gregory meets Anna, a sad girl, who is certain that no one at her new school likes her. Together, they discover how to change their world as well as their self-confidence. They use the Nepomuk-Trick, and the change begins... ...He smiled at Anna, at her delicate, small face. Doing so, he noticed that her face lit up until she almost glowed. "Thank you for saying that!" she said, "But the other kids haven't realized it yet. Or they just think I'm stupid." Gregory tried to find the right words, "I can't believe that everyone thinks you're stupid. Where I come from, unless you grew up in a school of fish, there is no way that everyone around you has the same opinion. That's really only possible in a school of fish..."

    '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!

    Sing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye, 
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie; 
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, 
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King? 
So, what does this strange old nursery song mean? Or is it just nonsense?  If you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so let Frank Baum, the man who wrote the Wizard of OZ, tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme. 
Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.
