We have rated this book pre-teen + (EVIL GOMES, WEIRD FOOD, SCOTLAND, BATTLES, INVERTOSHAN, MAGIC) A summer vacation in Scotland: weird food, ancient castles, people you can't understand, fabulous candy, rugged hills, sandy beaches, cross-eyed hotel waiters and tacky gift shops. What's not to like about that for two thirteen-year-old best friends from Seattle? Plenty, with parents who are self-centered goofballs or overbearing worry-warts. And somewhere around them an evil plot is being put together by a gang of European crooks to hurt them all and destroy the pride of Scotland. Finnley McDougall and Hadley Kobayashi bring with them clues that don't make sense from the secret book of Bluebeard-The-Pit-Bing-Gome. They reconnect with Wullie, the pocket-sized, scruffy, rude, bad-tempered rock creature who got them into all this trouble in the first place. If they can just figure out the connection between Gimpy, Slushbum, Stottermou, The Scaur o' Blackhope, a psychotic helicopter pilot, a slobbering Tasmanian rhino hound, a flooded quarry and an abandoned coal mine, maybe they will be able to prevent the crooks from stealing the heart of Scotland and destroying the city of Edinburgh and everyone in it. Including them. Book Two of the Blackhope Scaur Trilogy By This Author The Gomeworld Universe Sourcebook The Blackhope Scaur Trilogy The Twilight Cave Trilogy Book 1: The Scourge of Catalonia |
