HIGH IN THE SCOTTISH MOUNTAINS, THERE IS A CASTLE, AND IN THAT CASTLE THERE IS A SCHOOL LIKE NO OTHER...
Stormy Loch Academy is like no other educational establishment. For Minna, Kass and Tom it proves to be a safe haven from their chaotic home lives, giving them the chance to breathe freely and to roam the valleys and lochs on their doorstep.
But then they come across Addie, a mysterious girl hiding out in the wild with only a guitar and her dog for company. At first they believe her stories, but when she goes missing, the lies she has told start to emerge.
With Addie at risk, Minna, Kass and Tom must travel to London to uncover her past. The journey is dangerous, especially for those so young. But these are the children of Stormy Loch, and bravery and adventure run through their bones.
