The Boggart and the Monster - Softcover

*"Cooper adroitly incorporates ancient lore into a contemporary setting while producing an imaginative and compelling tale."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Ms. Cooper sets up a provocative elision of technological, natural, emotional and spiritual forces. Not that children will necessarily notice. The story is swiftly plotted and densely populated, zipping along with the speed of a video game...[It demonstrates] Ms. Cooper's masterly weaving of disparate realms."--The New York Times Book Review

"Plenty of sparkling complications... The clever premise and great characters will leave kids clamoring for more."--Booklist

"Susan Cooper's inventive writing, infused with both scientific and magical elements, will captivate even the most disbelieving of young adults."--Amazon.com

"A climactic tour de force...this entertaining romp can be appreciated as a gratifying fantasy and a thought-provoking story on the nature of freedom and the transforming power of love."--School Library Journal

Returning to their family's ancient Scottish castle, Emily and Jessup Volnik are delighted to see that the Boggart, a mischievous shape-shifting spirit who often imitates the Loch Ness monster, is still playing tricks on the people there. Reissue.
