Believing in magic makes dreams come true...
Jackie dreams of having a horse of her own,one that'll be the fastest on the estate,the fastest in all Ireland and the fastest in the world. Mum dreams of a little cottage in the country for her and Jackie to live in.
What they get is a garden gnome that Jackie finds in a rubbish skip; one she lovingly repairs and paints; a gnome she calls Mr Skip.
And Jackie soon discovers that with Mr Skip,anything is possible.
