Remember to send in your letters to Brodie and they may end up on this page!

Keep checking the competition page for details of any new competitions to win a copy of Brodie's book.

As I'm only 3 years old Granny is sending this e-mail for me. Your stories are great, Granny has read me both books......twice. I think she likes the stories as much as I do. Can granny buy me the stories on CD?

Wow - you have the same name as me! Cool. In Dunroamin, no other haggis has the same name as me. I'm so glad that you (and your Granny) like my stories. Erin keeps promising to put my stories on CD, but she hasn't managed to yet. But she's still thinking about doing it and when she does, I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks for getting in contact and I hope your Granny has tried my Brodie's Brainy Buddy questions to get a certificate for your wall.

Since you have so many adventures you must never be bored. But if you ever are bored what do you do? I'm bored sometimes and I can never think of what to do. Can you help me?

Thank you Brodie
(I hope I'm not bothering you again)

You're never bothering me. The only person who bothers me is Gertruda McNorris ... or should I say witch! I just don't seem to have time to be bored lately. But I have been bored and what I normally do then is to go and see my friends and we play hide and seek or we just run and jump through the heather and play tag. Before I know it, it's normally time to go home and I've forgotten my boredom. If my friends are busy, then I just usually go and help Mum in The Bothy or do one of my hobbies, like counting the number of different colour of butterflies I see in a day. I hope you don't get bored too much and if you've got a good hobby, then you'll never be bored. Sometimes I say I'm bored because I can't really be bothered doing anything ... so I normally try and put on a big smile to shake off my boredom. When Erin's bored, she watches the television, but when I'm there, it makes me bored so I always ask her to switch it off and ask her lots of questions about Nessie.

The book was brilliant! I really believed it was true because of the detailed descriptions! Everything tied in with reality and it made the book amazingly believable and perhaps it is true! Finally, a mythical and yet fictional book based in Scotland.

Thank you for taking the time to write to me. Erin says there is a magnificent castle in Edinburgh where you stay. I love castles. I am so glad that you enjoyed the book. I am still in my third adventure and it all feels just as real as the first and second adventures. But there is more trouble on its way - I just hope I can beat Gertruda.

I got the books as a present. I really like both of the books and I can't stop reading them when I start. I have lots of pictures in my head of Brodie and his friends and enemies. My friends want to see more pictures, but I like it without pictures because the pictures are in my head.

When can I read the next adventure? I want to see what happens to Brodie and Erin. And Booger and Gnogard. Do Big Bag and Knobbly Knees come back again?

So glad that you like my adventures. I get really scared sometimes, but Erin and my friends are there to help me. It will be a bit longer before you can read about my next adventure because I'm still in it ... I don't know what is going to happen to Gertruda - but I have to stop her from completing her mission.

I have just finishing reading the Scotch Mist to my three grandchildren and they loved it. I did too. Please be careful in your next adventure - we are worried about you Brodie.

Don't worry too much, I'm ok really. Oh dear ... something's coming. Help ... will be back soon ... gotta hide ...

My sister and I have just read your new book. It is really exciting and we can't wait to find out what happens in the next one. You and Erin are so brave. We don't like Big Bag and Knobbly Knees because they are really mean and they steal. I hope you can save the haggis from extinction. We really loved your visit to Skibo Castle - and Charlie Boo. He's so cool.

I'm working hard to save the haggis from extinction. It's pretty scary stuff. I hope I meet Big Bag and Knobbly Knees again - I'll turn them into heather!

Charlie Boo is a strange little mist spirit. But, he's ok really . I get really dizzy just watching his eyes roll around in his head. He's funny.

Keep in touch and be sure to get yourself one of my 'Brodie's Brainy Buddy' certificates.

Love from Brodie xx

My name is Hee Jung. My teacher is from Scotland and she reads us the funny book of Loch Ness. We love your book thank you. My friends say they like your book too.

Hee Jung
Beijing, China

Thank you for your message. Wow, I can't believe that you are so far away in Beijing and that you are reading my book. I'm really glad that you and your friends are enjoying it. I hope it is making you laugh as well.

My next book is nearly ready and is just as funny and is full of lots of mystery and new friends. I visit Skibo Castle in this adventure and meet lots of really weird faeries. Some nice, and some not so nice.

Remember to enter the competition to have a chance of winning a copy of my new book. If you are lucky enough to win it, your teacher might be able to read it to you and your friends. Good luck! http://www.brodiemchaggis.com/thebothy-competition.asp

Please keep in touch with me and tell me some stories from Beijing.

Dear Brodie

I am so excited. Father Christmas dropped off a late Christmas present at my grandma and grandpa's house; it was your book. I'm so excited and can't wait for my mummy to help me to read the 1st chapter tonight.

I've been to Caithness (Thurso) and Orkney 4 times and I have never seen you, so the next time that I am up I am going to come and look for you so that you will have two friends called Erin.

I have to go and have my tea now Brodie, but really can't wait to read about all your adventures.

Lots of love

Erin-Cait, Wigan

What a brill name. My best friend is called Erin - but you know that already. Great to hear that Father Christmas dropped you off one of my books. He's been dropping off a few. Sorry I missed you when you were up here - but if you let me know next time. I hope you like it up in this part of the world. It's beautiful ... especially in the summer. Plenty of heather to hide in (and eat).

I hope you like my adventures. I'm getting ready for my next one which is out in April. Keep in touch and let me know how you are enjoying my story.

Have you tried my questions on The Bothy pages? Just click on 'Brodie's Brainy Buddies'. You can print your own certificate with your name on it if you get all the questions right.

Hi again Brodie, how marvellous to hear that your next tale (do haggis have tails?) will be out in a few months! Put me down for one!

Cheers and love to Erin,

Ann, Thurso

Ps I think I must be your oldest reader going by the ages given out in your letters so far! xx

Great to hear from you again. No, haggises don't have tails, but I've got plenty of tales! Yes, my new adventure will be out in April, so I'm really busy just now getting ready for that and doing all that media stuff <sigh>.
