(1) 4-6 Girls of Many Lands series. A light hand, sharp wit, serious social issues, and a hint of subversion are ingredients in this lively story. Times are hard for Kathleen and her family, who live in a crowded tenement in 1930s Dublin. Her opportunity for advancement comes when an unexpectedly kind nun recommends Irish-dance lessons. Well-contextualized Irish words and phrases are further defined in the appended glossary; historical notes and photos are included.
