Review of 'The Boggart and the monster' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A fun sequel about the Scottish trickster spirit, Canadian siblings, and the Loch Ness monster. This book, like the first, is best for pre-teens, but was still an enjoyable read.

Perhaps the best part were the adults who know about the Boggart. In the first book, just the late owner of the castle. Here, we find out more about his life and the Boggart's also. The only minor quibble I have is the change in history - multiple documented photos of the famous beasty.

There is a third book, written 20 years after this one, and I will add it to my list. I would recommend the first two as read-aloud books to most parents, though this is the better of the two.
