The Boggart and the Monster
by Susan Cooper

4 out of 5 stars

The shape-shifting Boggart loves to play tricks on people in his ancient castle in Scotland. Emily and Jessup come to visit and go on a camping trip with their friend Tommy to visit Loch Ness, and the Boggart has come along for the ride. The Boggart finds his old cousin Nessie, a fellow boggart who has gotten stuck in the shape of a huge plesiosaurus and is the origin of the legends of the Loch Ness monster. Nessie has been sleeping at the bottom of the loch for decades, but now the Boggart is encouraging him to get out of the monster shape and into his proper invisible boggart-shape. But Nessie keeps reverting back into a huge monster, and a scientific team is scouring the loch looking for evidence of the Loch Ness monster legend. The two boggarts will need the children to help them evade the scientists and find peace again in a quiet corner of Scotland.
