Angus is a Brownie, bound by a curse to serve the women of a family that is also under a curse. When his beloved Sarah dies of old age, he must make the arduous journey from Scotland to America, to serve his new mistress, the youngest female of the family line.
Talk about culture shock. But Angus is a plucky, resourceful Brownie, determined to do his duty. Even if Alex, his new assignment, is a rather messy, disorganized girl who doesn't appreciate his tidying and organizing and trying to make life better for her.
The two are just starting to gain some respect and affection for each other when Alex's family and homelife starts changing. And Angus realizes to his horror that the curse has followed him from Scotland to America, and fastened itself on her family. How are they going to break the curse? He would leave if he could, to try to spare her family ... but he can't.
How do they solve this puzzle and do they manage to lift the curse? Ain't telling you -- it's too much fun -- you need to read and find it out for yourself.
Very well done. Clever. Funny. And all the "official documents," of reports, historical articles, emails, texts, and letters from teachers just add to the delightful adventure.
