The Brownie's Guide to Being Terrible: A Diary of Chaos, Cream, and Questionable Advice

Thistle MacCracken is the worst brownie in Scotland. She burns scones, starts arguments, and has a complicated relationship with cream. So when the Seelie Court sentences her to live with the MacLeods, a human family who do not know a brownie is hiding in their cottage, it is safe to say things could go better.

Then the loch begins to change. Ancient stones crack. The Veil between the human world and the hidden folk weakens. And something far worse than a grumpy kelpie is waking beneath the water.

With Rory MacLeod, a damp reformed kelpie called Horse, a fiercely capable brownie named Midge, and a cat who contributes almost nothing, Thistle must decide whether being terrible makes her a failure... or exactly the sort of hero Scotland needs.

A funny, warm-hearted Scottish fantasy about folklore, found family, fierce friendship, and becoming brave.
