If you have not yet met K. M. McColl (Katie Morag), this book will be wonderful to discover. If she is an old friend, then it is a gem. Reading a Katie Morag book is like visiting a favourite holiday haunt. The Isle of Struay has its jetty, Grannie Island's and Neilly Beag's all in familiar places on the endpaper maps. A bold lass, this Katie Morag! Even the Big Boy Cousins stand amazed at her bravery. Camping near Grannie Island's is one thing, but next to Castle McColl, ancient seat of the Clan Chief Rory of the Flaming Red Beard ... Meet Granny Island in her dungarees, trundling round on her tractor, and Granma Mainland who allows Katie Morag to experiment with her make-up. A magical collection of stories and poems to pore over.
