Liffey Rivers And the Mystery of the Sparkling Solo Dress Crown

There is more excitement at the Celtic Arch Feis in St. Louis than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers could have ever imagined. Within a 24-hour time period, she manages to foil a sophisticated criminal plot, dance her soft shoe jig and even prevent a possible war! Determined to win a 1st place medal at this feis and earn her very own solo dress, Liffey notices a suspicious looking man with a white stripe running down the back of his dark black hair (like a skunk) as she power walks around the hotel lobby. She has seen this man before, and he, like herself, always seems to be alone at Irish dance competitions. This time, however, she 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 something is WRONG.... Liffey follows the "skunk man" on to a crowded elevator to get a better look at the doll, and in her pursuit for answers, she finds herself not only competing for the medal, but fighting for her own life. After a series of close calls and in a state of near collapse, Liffey Rivers unravels the mystery of the sparkling solo dress crown.
