About this ebook
A web of evil Scottish magic entangles 3 children
American twins Jennifer and Peter love spending time with their grandmother in Scotland, especially because their sweet and loving Gran is a witch. A trip to meet Gran’s coven provides some unexpected surprises when a woman presents the twins’ little sister, Molly, with an ancient talisman. The relic leads the children to a frightened Pictish girl from the 9th century who has fled through time to escape a terrible evil. Jennifer, Peter, and Molly will have to join forces with Gran’s friends to defeat a bearer of bad magic and help a time traveler return to her rightful past.
In this delightfully atmospheric and imaginative novel, acclaimed fantasist Jane Yolen enthralls readers of all ages with a tale rich in wonder, surprise, and enchanted adventure.
The Pictish Child is the 2nd Tartan Magic book, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
