I love finding little known hems like this book. One reviewer said if you love Harry. I have respectfully disagree. This book should stand on it's on merit but if you HAD to companies I would say more Percy Jackson. The author takes you into the world of Scottish lore and does a great job of explaining each new creature without changing the flow of the book. Very child appropriate but still fun for adults. I'm going to buy the second book so I can continue this fun. I see this book rising to the top soon.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I'm a fan of Celtic mythology, so I was very interested in reading this book to see how the author used it in her story - and I was impressed. She used the mythical creatures in a way that explained them to those who have no knowledge of them, and kept them enjoyable for those that do.
I was quickly drawn into the story and felt a connection for Angus almost immediately. He was written well and believably, enough so that I wanted to reach into the book and smack him upside his head a few times.
This was a quick and easy story to get into, and worth the read. I highly recommend it to fantasy and mythology lovers.
5/5 platypires
