Opis

Is there anything more tedious than a Sunday family outing to an old ruin? That's what Charlotte thought (you would, too ). After all, how could she have guessed that this outing was planned ages ago - long before she was even born - and that it would land her in a really strange place
Some people (especially adults) will probably find this book "interesting" because it brings to life a forgotten time in a usually overlooked region (Angus) of Scotland rich in natural beauty. What's it about? A lot of stuff: monks, clans, friendship, adventure, a mystery, and a bloody battle. It's not a "girlie" book, nor a typical "boy adventure" but once you start reading, you might just get hooked

By the way: We spent a lot of time digging into 'sources' to make all the details 'accurate' - so once you read it you'll know something about history and you can show off in class. But that's mainly useful to get some adult to pay for the book.

What we really wanted to do is to write something that we would want to read ourselves: funny, sad, surprising, and unexpected. After all, like most sensible people (sometimes, but not often, even adults), we really don't like boring books.
