2 of 2 copies available
Approached in the park by a shadowy figure, Angus Lordie is mistaken for a journalist and becomes privy to some controversial plans of the Scottish Parliament—but just what is he meant to do about it? At school, a new member of Bertie's class, Galactica MacFee, quickly comes between Bertie and Olive, leaving him no choice but to skip town. And the indomitable Irene finds herself yet again in Edinburgh ... but this time there might be romance in the air.
Meanwhile, Matthew invests in a brand-new Pictish Experience Centre, meant to allow residents to experience what life was like for Scotland's mysterious early people, the Picts. And they have made a fantastic discovery—the earliest known work of Scottish literature! But what exactly do those mysterious Pictish runes say? What's no secret, however, is that in the microcosm of 44 Scotland Street, love, generosity, and goodwill abound.

Robert Ian Mackenzie's performance makes you feel right at home as you share the day-to-day joys and crises of old friends at 44 Scotland Street. The 17th in the series finds Angus wrapped up with a whistleblower, Matthew trying to establish a Pictish Experience Center, Big Lou's husband making an unapproved lifestyle shift, and 7-year-olds Bertie, Olive, and Ranald dealing with the new girl, Galactica Macfee. Galactica is a force to be reckoned with, and Ranald's birthday party is funny and poignant. Mackenzie becomes both chorus and characters--with subtle nods to listeners that he's in on the joke. If this is your first 44 Scotland Street, it won't be your last. Thanks to Mackenzie (and McCall Smith), you'll visit as often as possible. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
