About this listen

Are you ready for an adventure?

Meet Gavin, Clare, Michael and Mot - a group of friends with an unstoppable imagination for creating outdoor adventures in the remote Scottish countryside.

But what happens when their latest expedition takes them down a perilous and ominous path?

Hold on tight as these brave kids face thrilling and unexpected danger. With crime lurking at every corner, it's up to the kids to stop the criminals and save themselves before it is too late!

Weaving an inspiring tale of friendship and perseverance, "Light on the Dumyat" is the first novel in Rennie McOwan's "The Clan Series". It is the perfect read for fans of "The Famous Five" and Disney’s blockbuster hit "Brave".

Rennie McOwan (1933-2018) was a Scottish author, journalist, and broadcaster. He wrote more than 50 historical fiction and children’s books, including the beloved "The Clan Series".

I live within sight of the Ochils and have been to the top of Dumyat several times. The author was a friend of mine and I see/phone his widow and son, Tom (Mot in the story?), frequently.
i did read this in print form when it first came out but it was interesting to have it read to me.
The story is one of adventure in the hills during the summer school holidays with all the thrills of campfires, secret oaths of allegiance, artificial bird calls for identity etc.
Mixed into this is an ingredient of fear/terror connected with ancient (almost stolen) silver artefacts and a gang of unsavoury, incompetent rogues.
The narrator does his best to convey the different characters through their voices - at least he has a Scottish accent! He's ok with the boys and men's voices.
The adult woman's voice isn't bad but he's absolutely hopeless with the girl (Claire).
She sounds like Stanley Baxter portraying a refined Edinburgh matron or Paul Merton (walker, historian, presenter of the TV programmes about Scottish Lochs) reading the letters of Queen Victoria in "character".
On the whole, a good listen for boys aged about 8 to 10.

An excellent adventure story
