Liffey Rivers: In The Shadow Of The Serpent Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In Book # 4 of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancing Mysteries, 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers is on safari in South Africa with her eccentric Aunt Jean, en route to an Irish dancing competition in Johannesburg. After dodging a charging rhino, fending off a pride of lions and re-routing an enraged mother elephant, Liffey's problems have just begun. When Liffey is confronted by a deadly Black Mamba snake in the tall savanna grasses, she must rely on instinct and her Irish dance training to survive. At the Johannesburg Feis, Liffey's troubles continue and she again finds herself, this time with a little boy in a wheelchair, in the shadow of the serpent.

Brenna Briggs is funny. Perhaps her books are funnier to me than to others because I'm in the Irish dance world, but I believe the humor isn't limited to inside jokes. Liffey travels with her Aunt Jean to South Africa and goes on safari, and this is where most of the humorous, madcap scrapes occur. Her aunt is ridiculous! Plus, in the end, a powerful message of brotherly love shines through--but I won't say any more about that, because I don't want to give spoilers. What I will say is that Liffey is just as likable as ever, with her independence and underdog sort of status.Here's what you will find in any of the Liffey Rivers books: adventure, travel, humor, and dancing (of course)!
Liffey Rivers is "The" best series for Irish Dancers. Hands down. Girls who love to read and those who struggle will all enjoy the plots and twists developed by Brenna Briggs. Liffey is a lovable character whom girls can easily identify with and whose exploits are set within the Irish Dance world. The books fit well in a feis bag and even Mom's have been known to crack the spine, while waiting during downtime. I can't say enough about this series, except, perhaps, we are waiting for the next one!
My 11 yr old daughter is a competitive Irish Dancer and a voracious reader, so I was happy to come across this book, as well as others in the series. She read it cover to cover immediately and said it was a good book. Her reading level is pretty high for her age, so this was a bit of an easy read for her, but that's okay. The subject matter was a perfect match.
