this book is about a boy who's family is used to being in trouble, but this time, he is actually regarded as a hero by the local press for saving a drowning boy's life. the only problem is what else was in the loch that freezing cold day in winter, and how he copes with what he finds out
i think it is a really good book and would recommend it to any teenager if you like mysterious, dramatic novels.

Terrific book!
22 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
A powerful and moving story about family, friendship, and loyalty. Col is a vibrant, interesting and extremely sympathetic character, and though the "secret" of what he saw beneath the ice is fairly predictable, it doesn't matter, because it's Col we care about, not the "surprise" itself. In fact, what is most moving about his story is how once Col makes the decision to help other people, they are moved to help him.
A dark yet inspiring book. You won't regret reading it.

A great book
31 Oct 2003
Format:Hardcover
This is the story of Col, a Scottish teenager who acts tough and idolizes his older brother Mungo, a skilled robber. When Col saves a younger boy's life, his whole world changes and he is forced to confront the truth about his brother.
This is an terrific book with a slightly fantastical under-theme but mostly it is realistic fiction and great. Col is alive and the minor charaters are well done. The Scottish accent adds credibility to the story.
