The Far Side of the Loch
“With her brothers away at school and her older sister acting moody, seven-year-old Martha feels lonely, particularly when her family leaves her behind for a week while visiting relatives. But she enjoys playing with her pet hedgehog and entertaining her young cousins, who spend the week with her. Martha’s domestic adventures ring true, and her spirit makes her a likable character in this story set in eighteenth-century Scotland…” (The Horn Book Guide).
