CROWN JEWELS, MONS MEG)


The Edinburgh Military Tattoo: hundreds of squealing bagpipes, gymnastics, fireworks, battle re-enactments, laser shows, a drill team of roaring motorbikes on the castle esplanade, seen by floodlight.  It should be the best vacation ever, a dream come true for most thirteen-year-old American visitors.  But for Finnley McDougall and Hadley Kobayashi it is something to dread.  Somewhere a gang of greedy, cruel humans and three armies of evil gomes are planning an attack somewhere in Edinburgh Castle.  They have a bomb.  They have a helicopter.  They have a hatred of humans in general and Finn and Hadley in particular.  They have thousands of Lignites, Graywackies and Slag Piles on their side.  What can two small children and one very small, scruffy, bad-tempered rocky companion do to stop them?
