Book of the Week

The Witching Hour is an adventure set in 17th century Scotland where a young girl called Maggie becomes a reluctant heroine when she finds herself involved with the Covenanting cause and tries to save her uncle from being hanged. This comes after she herself escapes being executed as a witch!

I really enjoyed this one - Maggie is an inspiring character and you come to care about her very much! Elizabeth Laird really brings the history of the time to life and reading this book certainly made me aware of parts of Scotland's past I wasn't very familiar with. An exciting read!
