Things are rarely peaceful with two boggarts around, but this time a real estate developer is the one disturbing the quiet, a man named Trout.

Boggart and friends vs Donald William Trump Trout. Can they save Stalker Castle Castle Keep, the Appin coastline and its wildlife from becoming a huge holiday resort for the rich?
Well, it's a book for kids, so you guess.

It's a charming adventure involving the afore-mentioned shape-changing trickster spirit of Scottish folklore, the Boggart of Clan MacDevon and the youngest human members of the Clan - Jay and Allie Cameron (long story). Various other creatures from Scottish folklore also show up, playing into Cooper's strengths as illustrated by her famous Dark is Rising sequence.
