This is a fresh edition of a classic novel for children aged 9 and upward. The action is set in the Ochil Hills of mid-Scotland, where Gavin learns outdoor survival skills and Clan traditions. He is drawn into mysterious events and faces unexpected challenges.
In an era of increasing concern over children being overprotected and lacking self-reliance, this adventure story has new relevance. Above all, it’s a "cracking good read".
