Rach –
When Benji’s parents are lost at sea, he and his brother Stanley are sent to Scotland to live with their estranged uncle Hamish at Lochy Loch. The loch has been in their family for generations and it’s Benji’s only link left to his parents, so when he overhears that uncle Hamish owes so much money that they are about to loose their home, Benji decides he needs to come up with a plan to help save Lochy Loch. What better idea than a Lochy Loch Monster? There’s just one thing … evidence is needed to prove it exisits. Benji, with the help of his new friend Murdy, sets out to show everyone there really is a monster in Lochy Loch while learning to understand his brother’s grief and his own feelings along the way. While this books is brilliantly funny and had me chuckling away, it is also a gorgeous tale of family, friendship and grief.
