Publisher's Summary

Many little girls in Ireland borrow the dresses for their first holy communion from their big sisters or cousins. This is the tale of Maureen, a girl who finds that her cousin's beautiful dress just does not fit her. She comes up with a clever, so she thinks, solution to the problem.

This is a prequel to Kathleen and the Communion Copter, and we meet Maureen and Damien for the first time as they strike an unusual deal. If you liked Maureen's story, please take a look at my book Kathleen and the Communion Copter, where these two characters appear again. Maureen warns Kathleen about clutter cleaners in a chapter called "The Holy Communion Clean Up" and Damien creates some amazing art in a chapter called "Show and Tell".
