Liffey Rivers and the Mystery of the Sparkling Solo Dress Crown Brenna Briggs

There is more excitement at this Celtic Arch Feis in St. Louis than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers could have possibly imagined. As Liffey is power-walking around the feis hotel lobby preparing for the next day's dance competition, (where she is determined to win a 1st place medal to qualify for her first solo dress) she notices a suspicious-looking man with a white stripe running down the back of his dark hair, like a skunk. Liffey observes that he is carrying a shopping bag with a beautiful porcelain Irish dancer doll peeking out. The doll is wearing a dazzling diamond solo dress crown but Liffey can tell that something is wrong with the doll and follows the 'skunk man' to get a better look. In her pursuit for answers, she finds herself not only competing for a medal, but taking decisive action to thwart a criminal conspiracy. After a series of close calls and in a state of near collapse, Liffey Rivers unravels the mystery of the sparkling solo dress crown."
