Nessie and the Bagpipes - Paperback

by Maria Dahlen (Author), Sage Stanley (Author)

Margaret isn't thrilled when her mother leaves Minnesota and opens an inn along the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland. Margaret liked life in the Twin Cities just fine. She doesn't have any routines in Scotland, and she isn't interested in starting any. Her family is worried. When Margaret falls in love with a set of bagpipes, she's found something to make Scotland feel like home. The trouble is, no one in town enjoys listening to her play. The man who sold her the bagpipes suggests she go to the nearby shore of Loch Ness, explaining that the monster in the water is believed to love the sound of bagpipes. She goes, thinking it's a trick to get her out of town. But when practicing, she notices there is, indeed, a monster who emerges from the water to listen to her play: Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. Margaret soon becomes the star of the town for her ability to charm the monster to the lake's surface.
