But as the inevitable canine chaos ensues and Milly’s best laid plans begin to unravel into a laugh-out-loud read.
This short chapter book, perfect for emerging readers or for their adults to read aloud is told from Milly’s point-of-view and is complemented by line drawings, doodles and witty asides which lead to an immersive and engaging reading experience.
Milly is relatable, loud and very funny. In the words of her dad Corkonian Milly with her wild red hair and Rebel Blood can be ‘a complete catastrophe.’ Milly is supported by a wonderful cast of neighbours and friends from Ballybrogin; her ever supportive Nana Clara, Big Bow Rebecca, BFF Laura, patient Múinteoir Emer and the residents of the local Care Home for the Elderly.
A well-paced story, set in Ireland with Gaeilge dotted throughout – Milly even gives us a bonus Gaeilge for your Madra guide at the end. Lots of young readers will be waiting eagerly for this book and it comes highly recommended!
