In Book #6 of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery Series, 14-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers sets out during a freak November 1st blizzard in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, to help a friend decipher a mysterious puzzle that may lead to an undiscovered gold mine. When a blast of frigid wind deposits a huge pile of snow in her path, Liffey uses her Irish dancing training to launch herself over it and discovers that High Street has two sides: a Gray Dog Deli side and a Red Rooster Cafe side. Same direction. Very different paths.The Mystery of the Pointing Dog is Wisconsin historical fiction for tweens set in 1842. Featuring an Irish immigrant family which has settled in Southwestern Wisconsin, it is also Liffey Rivers’ most challenging and dangerous mystery to date.

À propos de l?auteur

Brenna Briggs is the author of eight Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries and MAIDS: Mothers Addicted To Irish Dancing. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into a third generation Irish American family, she thought that eating green-dyed bakery bread and sugar cookies with bright green icing on Saint Patrick's Day were the best things about being Irish. Briggs' essays and short stories have been featured in Hornpipe Magazine, The Irish American Post, Celtic Canada, The Sligo Quarterly Review, Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine and many other Irish American periodicals and newspapers. After returning in 2009 from a six year stay in County Sligo where she wrote the first three Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer mysteries, she lives in the "Driftless Area" of Wisconsin near the Mississippi River. Her books and magazine short stories and essays are part of the Dublin archives for traditional Irish music and dance (Taisce Cheol Duchais Eirreann) on Merrion Square. Brenna studied theatre and history at St. Mary's College-Notre Dame.
