BOOK 3
THE TALE OF FLORENCE AND THE LOST SEA KELPIES
A magical Scottish adventure celebrating kindness, courage, and the joy of helping others.
Florence, the Border Collie, has just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Highlands of Scotland near Loch Ness, but she feels sad now that the mountains and misty hills are behind her. To cheer her up, she takes a walk into her favourite enchanted place - the peaceful Tintock Wood.
There, Florence meets two boys who have accidentally broken a fairy's wand while practising their football kicks. When the angry fairy demands that the boys travel through a portal to replace the wand, Florence bravely steps forward to help, shrinking to fairy-size and entering a magical world. What follows is an unforgettable journey filled with wonder, friendship, and mythical creatures.
Along the way, Florence reunites with her loyal friend Aurorla, the Arctic unicorn, and encounters two lost sea kelpies swept far from their home near Falkirk. Together, they soar across Scotland to return the kelpies to the canal and set things right - all while learning that the greatest magic comes from kindness, bravery, and doing the right thing.
