KATE

Book ID/图书代码： 04300012B53995

English Summary/英文概要： When Kate goes to her very first Irish dancing lesson she is smitten: It’s like flying, she decides. It’s the best thing she’s ever done. But, coming from a poor family in Dublin’s Liberties in the 1930s, how can Kate continue with her dancing? How could she ever manage to buy a fancy dancing costume?

Still, Kate has her dreams - and sometimes dreams come true, even if not in the way we imagine!

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在自由的都柏林1930 年代长大的凯特，最大的抱负是为她的爱尔兰舞蹈金奖，但她的家人甚至买不起一套演出服给她。（Sandy）

Awards/获奖情况：Engaging from the very beginning, with plenty of light-heated banter, home-spun philosophies, and phrases that many young readers will recognise from older generations of their own families. All the characters are precisely realised, and no matter how small their part, are wholly believable. Kate is an uplifting and enjoyable read for girls between 9 and 11, no matter their interest or not in dancing.---Books Ireland
