For Day 6 #DIKBChallenge, I'm choosing the Milly McCarthy series by @Leonaforde1 and @KarenHarte. So many of the girls in my class enjoy this series and particularly loved seeing themselves represented in the Irish Dancing Disaster.
It's time for DAY 6 #DIKBChallenge24 and today’s prompt is to post an Irish book for children or teens that is part of a series.
So many great books to choose from!
