About this book
Kenneth Mackhai has plans for a day's fishing when his father announces that a London solicitor's son is coming to stay. At Dunroe, an old Scottish castle beside the sea, the news interrupts a life of boats, salmon pools and noisy exchanges with Scoodrach. Kenneth admires his father, but a troubling letter and the prospect of an unwelcome guest cast a shadow over their comfortable breakfast.
George Manville Fenn's adventure novel for younger readers brings friendship and practical courage into this rugged coastal setting. When Kenneth and Scoodrach need help near a precipice, Max volunteers to take a boat back to Dunroe, learning to handle the sail and tiller as he goes. The contrast between confident talk and uncertain action gives the boys' encounters their interest.
