The Weird of Calanais

The third part of The Twilight Cave Trilogy is called The Weird of Calanais.  That's a weird kind of a title for a book!  In this case the word "Weird" is an old word for a witch and the word "Calanais" (which is pronounced "Callanish") refers to a mysterious and spiritually powerful place on the Island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.  Here is a summary of the story:

Finnley McDougall's fourteen year-old body has been turned to stone.  Barely clinging to life he is transported by sea from Spain to the Western Isles of Scotland to be crushed to rubble amidst the Standing Stones of Calanais.  Dozens of evil gomes and humans will profit from Finn's destruction.  What can Finn's best friend, Hadley, and their scruffy, rude, bad-tempered companion, Wullie-The-Mahaar-Gome, do to save him?  Nothing... unless they can find the gome witch, Varry Doo, survive attacks by her midges and bonxies, catch the biggest trout in Loch Eggerness, sneak past the attack guard geese at Cragganbogle Castle, rip the moustache of a sleeping Spaniard, and survive the embarrassment of Hadley's mother's naked Druid dance under the Midsummer moonlight.  It won't be as easy as it sounds.

Here is the first chapter of the story.  Chapter one is called Schemers In The Mist:
