Milly wants to win a medal for Irish dancing, just like her neighbor 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!
