When Oliver and Luke move to Edinburgh with their parents for the summer, they expect the usual tourist experiences: hearing screech-cat bagpipes and seeing loads of tartan. Maybe a castle if they are lucky. What happens instead is that they receive a riddle in the post from an eccentric philosopher that sends them on a quest to uncover a relic she buried long ago. They embark with M&M, their new best friend who seems to know everything about everything and whose dog Fergus has a vendetta against swans. First trekking through the ancient city’s basements, alleyways, and museums, the quest leads to seafaring on the North Sea and breaking into a 200-year-old abandoned lighthouse. Their parents will ground them for sure, but the Sea Sword beckons. It belonged to the ancestors of Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of "Treasure Island." If located, it will save the Scottish Authors’ Museum from bankruptcy and its beloved desk clerk Mr. Singh from unceremonious deportment. The Sea Sword is an adventurous read for middle graders who love history and treasure seeking.
