Synopsis
Little does 16-year-old Sami Ames know what she's in for when she and her mother head to Scotland to help their cousins save MacKensie Manor. Sami feels like she's landed in a medieval time warp. There's no electricity, no running water, or hair conditioner! But Sami joins in the challenges of daily peasant life in order to get MacKensie Manor up and running as a working farm tourist attraction. She can't imagine people paying to make soap, dye wool, or milk cows. What's worse, a ghost has invaded her room. Sami can't figure out cousin Fiona, who obsesses over an ancient family feud with the McClintoggs, but Sami's thrilled when she has a close encounter with a hot Scot. Too bad it's Adan McClintogg!From the Trade Paperback edition.
