Synopsis

The latest installment in the irresistibly warm and welcoming 44 Scotland Street series

Approached in the park by a shadowy figure, Angus Lordie is mistaken for a journalist and becomes privy to some controversial plans of the Scottish Parliament—but just what is he meant to do about it? At school, a new member of Bertie’s class, Galactica MacFee, quickly comes between Bertie and Olive, leaving him no choice but to skip town. And the indomitable Irene finds herself yet again in Edinburgh … but this time there might be romance in the air.

Meanwhile, Matthew invests in a brand-new Pictish Experience Centre, meant to allow residents to experience what life was like for Scotland’s mysterious early people, the Picts. And they have made a fantastic discovery—the earliest known work of Scottish literature! But what exactly do those mysterious Pictish runes say? What’s no secret, however, is that in the microcosm of 44 Scotland Street, love, generosity, and goodwill abound.

Another delightful installment in the 44 Scotland Street series. Reading one of these books is like meeting old friends for a nice chat and a hot cup of tea. I will never tire of these sweet, simple, uplifting stories.......more

Goodreads review by Charles on January 20, 2024

A delight as always I always look forward to the new ‘Bertie’ book and this did not disappoint. I wonder if Bruce will revert to type in the next book? Has Bertie ever got a chance of attaining the great age of 8? Will Ranald ever learn to read? These, and other philosophical questions await us all!!......more

Goodreads review by Anna on June 19, 2024

I love this series, but this latest offering is lacking. It feels like the Reader’s Digest version of a longer version that is, unfortunately, not in existence. I am happy to have been given my Scotland Street fix, but hope the next is more developed.......more

4.5 stars, one of my all time favourite series. This is book #14 in the 44 Scotland Street series. A gifted writer, with a quirky, intelligent style.......more
