A great young adult story

Kaylee O'Shay has been playing soccer for her father's soccer team and has recently started doing Irish dance at the Trean Gaoth Academy. He father is a former champion soccer player and he wants Kaylee to follow in his footsteps. Kaylee's not so sure that soccer is where her dreams lie. She really likes Irish dancing and has made some really good friends at her dance school. Unlike her soccer team where the top players poke fun of her and call her "O'Shrimp" and she really only has one very good friend. Then one day, it happens - there is an important soccer meet and an important Irish dance event on the same day. Kaylee will have to choose which she will do. I enjoyed reading this story. It really takes you into the mind of a middle school girl. The pressure to fit in, the desire to please your parents and the desire to pursue your own dreams -- three things that rarely line up for any kid.

Perfect for any Irish Dancer!!!

This is the first in a series of 7 books. Perfect for your Irish Dancer! My Daughter loved it and has read the six in the series that are out and is waiting anxiously for the release of the 7th and final book of Kaylee OShay.
