Summary

Glasgow for Bertie is the promised land. The city of pies and Irn Bru, far from his controlling mother, Irene – his place of escape. But how will he respond to the news of the proposed merging of Edinburgh and Glasgow? A new member of Bertie’s class at school is causing ripples in his social circle. She is called Galactica MacFee and is going to be a match for Olive and her lieutenant, Pansy.  

And an incredible new discovery: a Pictish stone that is said to have the first-known written poem carved into it is the talk of the town. But when the poem is eventually translated, it is thought it is best to keep it under wraps.

Such easy listening

Who doesn't adore Bertie? Another endearing book from 44 Scotland Street wonderfully narrated by David Rintoul.

Scotland street triumphs yet again.

How comical or sensible or philosophical the characters are. Light and surprisingly uplifting listen.

The return of Bertie

As ever with this series, this is a lovely charming uplifting book, full of gentle humour. Exactly what one needs in our troubled world.

Disappointed and confused

The last book was poor and this one was worse. Not enough of Bertie and the Irene story was a poor attempt to rectify the mid-step on the last book.
