Katie Campbell is a travel writer/blogger/videographer who makes her name on her misadventures. She is in Scotland for an Edwardian Experience and her first experience is to fall into the banister that had just been replaced and break it. That is the beginning of the book that will hold the reader's attention throughout the whole book.
Pepper Basham writes with a touch of humor and adventure. Even though Katie's grandfather was a Campbell and there was a slight reference to a feud, but Katie is accepted readily in the community. Graeme MacKerrow and his family begin to love Katie and enjoy the energy she brings to the community.
There is one fly in the ointment for Katie during this Edwardian Experience and that she has been nominated for a prestigious award, but her competition is also attending the Experience and does everything in his power to discredit her so that he can win. She doesn't care who wins, but she's going to do her best work, regardless.
There is one thing missing from the book that would have made it better and that would have been a glossary of the Scottish words used throughout the book. That would have made the book much easier to understand.
Serious Four Star Book
