Quality consistent in second book Apr 02, 2007
By N. Bandler
"feverish reader"
I am happy to see that the second book about Liffey Rivers maintains the quality of the first story. If anything, I enjoyed the little history/geography lessons that Ms. Briggs sneaks into the books even more this time around, as I was able to get a different picture of London and Ireland from Liffey's point of view.
I can see this story appealing to young people through identification with Liffey's emotions and frustrations, her reactions to places and things she encounters on her travels, and, in this particular tale, the delicious description of that special blue dress.
Even though the main mystery is solved, a new one pops up at the end of the book, leaving readers anxious for the next installment.

I Love Liffey Dec 13, 2006
After I read the 1st Liffey Rivers book I had to read the second one. When I got it I finished it the first night which is unusual for me. Liffey Rivers mysteries are getting better and more interesting as each book progreses. In this book Liffey Rivers solves a mystery that starts in London and ends up on the top of a mountain in Ireland with an amazing ending. I can't wait for the next one! I have to know waht happens next! Please!

Fun Mystery! Not Just For Irish Dancers! Jan 13, 2009
By A Reader
All three of my children *love* Liffey Rivers. They are precocious readers. My 8 year old daughter is crazy about Irish dance, so it made sense that she would love these books. But my 10 year old, who hates Irish dance, still loved these books. And my 8 year old son also loves them. They are well written mysteries that any kid who likes mysteries would enjoy.

Liffey Rivers Turns London Upside Down Jul 25, 2010
By Margaret E.
"Feis Bookworm"
This is the second book of the Liffey Rivers Irish dancer series. Liffey goes to London on her way to Ireland where she plans to dance at a feis for the first time in her solo dress. Before she leaves London, she causes a disturbance of such magnitude that the Prime Minister turns up to look into things. In Ireland the mystery that started in London continues with so many people following each other (Liffey is oblivious to this)that it gets a bit confusing sometimes. When Liffey solves the mystery of a stolen portrait from the National Gallery in England at a tiny feis in Ireland, an unexpected grand finale awaits the reader. This book is suspenseful and informative. A good book for readers 8-13 and above.

Lots of History Mixed In With Underlying Mystery Feb 03, 2010
By Mary Merry
"Wild Irish Girl"
Learned a lot about Ireland's heroes and ironically, England's queens in this Liffey Rivers mystery.Great book for introducing Irish and English history to tweens. Brenna Briggs tucks history facts neatly into her clever mystery of the winking judge.
