Milly’s class has been chosen to represent their school at the local St Patrick’s Day parade! They decide on a float theme of Irish myths and legends, but while Milly thinks she’d be perfect as Queen Maeve, instead she’s given the role of the back end of the Brown Bull of Cooley.
What could possibly go wrong?! Quite a lot, as it turns out … but sure, it’s totally NOT her fault that Ellie causes a stink, or that Ronan’s sliotar goes flying, or that the parade ends in the biggest pile-up Ballybrogan has ever seen …!
