The Scourge of Catalonia

I have just finished the second trilogy of stories featuring Finn, Hadley, Wullie and their friends (...and enemies).  It is called The Twilight Cave Trilogy and takes them from Seattle to the hot steamy exotic Catalonian mountains in Spain and then to the remote, cold and wet Western Isles of Scotland.  The first part of the story is called The Scourge of Catalonia.  I hope that you won't be put off by that odd title.  You might want to look up the word "Scourge" in a dictionary.  It is a great word to add to your vocabulary so that you can drop it into casual conversation to impress people!

Scourge of Catalonia Cover

Here is a summary of The Scourge of Catalonia

A beloved sculpture is stolen by an acid-spitting gome in Barcelona.  A smart, brave, fourteen year-old girl deals with her father's ditzy girlfriends in Seattle.  A doleful sandstone gome battles guard geese at Cragganbogle Castle on the Western Isles of Scotland.  When Finnley McDougall's Seventh Grade class is invited to spend a vacation in Spain these unlikely events are drawn together in another mystery adventure featuring Finn, Hadley, and their scruffy, rude, bad-tempered companion, Wullie-The-Mahaar-Gome.  If Finn and Hadley can survive bullies, grumpy teachers, evil Spaniards, stinging sculptures, weird food, squealing bagpipes, and dangerous caves without fighting with each other and falling out maybe they can figure out what is going on.

Here is the first chapter of the story.  Chapter one is called Poisonous Graffiti

Here is the second chapter of the story.  Chapter two is called The Messed-up Celtic Love Knot
