We have rated this book pre-teen + (STANDING STONES, LONDON THUGS, LIVER PASTE, BONXIES, GOME WITCH, MIDGE BITES) A scruffy, rude, bad-tempered mystery adventure A hiss of fury came from the lump in the bog. "Bite the impudent human even harder, mo-grain! It dares to address Mhairhidgh Dubh when only creags are permitted." Finnley McDougall's thirteen year-old body has been turned to stone. Barely clinging to life he is transported by sea from Spain to the Western Isles of Scotland to be crushed to rubble amidst the great Standing Stones of Calanais. Dozens of evil gomes and humans will profit from Finn's destruction. What can Finn's best friend, Hadley, and their scruffy, rude, bad-tempered companion, Wullie-The-Mahaar-Gome, do to save him? Nothing… unless they can find the gome witch, Varry Doo, survive attacks by her midges and bonxies, catch the biggest trout in Loch Eggerness, sneak past the wolf hounds and guard geese at Cragganbogle Castle, rip the moustache off a sleeping Spaniard, and survive the embarrassment of Hadley's mother's naked Druid dance under the Midsummer moonlight. It won't be as easy as it sounds.
