Brodie has allowed me to tell his story through his very own book,
"Brodie McHaggis and the Secret of Loch Ness",
and his latest adventure, "Brodie
McHaggis and the Curse of the Scotch Mist".
I promise you that it will take you through a turmoil of magical adventure -
magic and adventure that I never knew existed. Well, I never wrote the
story. Helen Campbell wrote it, but I told her the story and of how we met
Gertruda the witch and Booger the Ghillie Dhu. Then there were Dork
and Klutz the funny bird-like creatures who captured us. It was pretty
scary stuff at the time, but we're safe ... at least for the mean time.
Loch Ness holds an ocean of mysteries, but only one secret. Whether you're 7
years old, or 10 like me, or 75 like my friend Bobbie in America, Brodie will become part of your life as you travel with him on his mission to find out the truth, and discover the Secret of Loch Ness.
Hear what Brodie has to say about some of his friends … and enemies:
Angus McMail - he delivers messages through his network of
high-speed burrows.
He's pretty clumsy, but he's alright, really.
Jock McHaggis - he's my dad and he always gets annoyed when I ask him lots of questions about our myths and why we think rowan trees protect us. But, I just keep on asking him!
Holly McHaggis - she's my mum. Everybody thinks she's great.
Iron McGillis - he's a delinquent!
Saunders McRancid - he 's
disgusting. He smells.
Kyla McHarris - <sigh>, she's lovely ... [Brodie blushed when
I asked about
Kyla]
The Kelpie - ... er ... I'd prefer not to talk about the hideous ... thing ...
[Brodie is trembling. I had to drag him out of his hiding place in the
heather.]
Gertruda McNorris - ... she's even more
hideous! She's a horrible, mean witch and wants to kill me and all of my
family and friends. [Brodie's really angry now ... think he might turn
someone into lucky white heather!]
Erin Scott [that's me] - ...
funny-looking things these humans ... but Erin is the best friend I've ever had even though she's a human.
She ... oh ...
[oh dear, I think I've upset him. Brodie's crying, and have pity on him because he has four
nostrils so there's a lot of running nose to clean!]
Booger - he's that wimpy little ghillie dhu who
thinks he owns the forest. Yeuch!
Gnogard - he's that ghastly gnome who would sell
his own granny if it would make him handsome. Grrrr ...
You'll catch uth the rest of Brodie's friends and
enemies throughout his adventures because there are just too many to mention
here.
