5.0 out of 5 stars Another Brilliant Lone Pine Adventure, 6 Aug 2001
This is the seventh adventure in the Lone Pine series. The story involves the Lone Piners tracking down evil scientists who are making a chemical spray to knock out guard dogs. After many adventures the Lone Piners win through but not before a terrific episode in the old mine shafts below the Stiperstone Hills where one of the Lone Piners nearly meets a sticky end!As with all of the Lone Pine books this is an excellent adventure set in a real landscape that you can visit for yourself. It is a shame that more of this series is not available to readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Saville Story Set in Shropshire, 13 Jun 2001
By jmackenzie48@yahoo.com (Newcastle Upon Tyne, England) - See all my reviews
There are so many positive ingredients in this "Lone Pine" story that is difficult to keep the list of its virtues short enough for this review. Each story in the series of twenty books is fascinating to read but I have to admit that "The Neglected Mountain" and "Not Scarlet but Gold" are my favourites. Malcolm Saville at one time promised to keep the children the same age in each of the adventures. It was surely in this book (Number 7 in the series) that he began to change his mind for, as you read it, you realise that the extra dimension it has is the way he has begun to explore the relationship between Peter (Petronella) and David in more depth.

Extreme danger brings out the best in people and it also gives us a glimpse of the feelings that have been gradually developing from book to book. And then, just like the journey into the mine, those feelings are driven underground until the eruption of emotions in "Not Scarlet but Gold". This ability to show his characters growing up is what sets him apart from other authors who are writing for both boys and girls. The children's personalities stay marvellously the same and yet somehow become intriguingly different.

And now for the list of the other virtues - the haunting description of landscape, the harrowing and totally compelling plot involving a threat to everybody's favourite dog, the comedy of the Morton twins, the tremendous capacity for describing journeys, the gift of lively dialogue..... I must stop.

I would recommend any parent to start their children on this series. They may begin by enjoying the plots but they will return to see what happens to the characters whose lives they have joined. Just like Mary, worried to death about her Scottie dog, they will still be alert enough to recognise the special secret that she has overheard and hints to us all on the last page of "The Neglected Mountain".
