Peter Falls for Nessie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420825343)

Peter refused to look at his siblings, Jamie, (15) and Alison, (13) seated across from him. His crying and pleading had done nothing to change the inevitable. They were on the train traveling to Inverness, Scotland. Resisting friendly overtures by his aunt and uncle, a recalcitrant Peter finds his life rearranged; he meets the Loch Ness monster! Believers and unbelievers invade his domain. Newsmen, photographers, television crews make a trek to Dream Cottage. Returning to Glasgow and parents, they are deluged with cameras, queries, and anxious newsmen wanting first hand accounts of ''Nessie. School commences with an assembly in the auditorium. Peter is on parade; Jamie and Alison sharing the limelight. Questions and answer time is in full bloom. Excitement. Then... one lad drops a negative bombshell. ''My faither says it''s all a hoax. Nessie doesn''t walk on land. My faither says the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau is paying you to get tourists to traipse up there ''cause their business is bad right now.''
