Loved this quirky Scottish fantasy in which Lily and Robbie climb the haggis hill, and begin their perilous journey facing a frightening eagle, a wild haggis family, and a host of other dangers. There are some cute extras, with a chance to design your own tartan. Scots words and their meanings, and a discussion with the author who encourages readers to re-interperate the story. Quirky, enjoyable and engaging. Would recommend. Carol McAllister.
