About

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. This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Jane Yolen including rare images from the author's personal collection.

Reviews

"The story moves quickly, and the characters, including a horse who speaks Pictish, are appealing... A fun read for middle school fantasy lovers."
Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"The action-packed plot is nearly as winding as the rain-drenched stone lanes of Gran's ancient village... The story has a good dose of humor... [It] will appeal to fans of Susan Cooper's The Boggart."
Library Journal
