Twins Allie and Jay's family needs help from the boggart, his cousin Nessie, and other creatures from Scottish folklore to thwart a real-estate developer's plans for a resort hotel. The juxtaposition of modern science and old magic, the boggart's mischievous humor, and the warm family relationships are big draws for readers. Though this new adventure stands on its own, it will surely send readers looking for The Boggart and The Boggart and the Monster.
