Description

A fantasy adventure story set on the imaginary Hebridean island of Shuma. Mologan, a relatively young Boggart, has lived a solitary life for all of his one hundred and forty-seven years. When young Fin, who is spending his summer holidays on Shuma, accidentally falls into the labyrinth of underground passages, he encounters this mischevious cave-dwelling creature and both their lives are changed. Fin and his brother and sister, Robbie and Beth, are catapulted into a series of humorous and hair-raising adventures involving meetings with Aggie Hagg-Boggart (a kindly old witch), a frightening encounter with a felsh-eating Boggart called Roary Borealis, and the abduction of Horace, a vicious green lobster. For children aged 7-12.
