When Alice is shipped off to boarding school in Scotland it’s nothing like she imagines. Run by the mysterious Major, there are no punishments and the students are more likely to be taught about body painting or extreme survival than Maths or English!
When Alice’s dad goes missing, she must run away to find him. But can she persuade her new friends to help?

I liked this book because it was very funny and exciting! I would love to read it again but I’m trying out new books first! 😀 One day I shall definitely read the book again. Also, the title of the book definitely shows the story line and matches the story!

Hi Samantha, your comment has really made me want to reed it. I have begun to read it and can’t wait to get stuck in!!!!
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked the different personalities and how they got on despite this. I thing it took a bit for the story to get going. 4 Stars
The start wasn’t great but Stormy Loch felt like a second home for me. I never trusted Barney but I felt the urge to find him. Alice and I have so much in common – its creepy! I was doing everything with her, from convincing Jesse to come with her to scaling cliffs. That book was amazing! 4.5 Stars
A good story about adventure and survival, with Alice the main character being your classic adventurer. The side characters Jesse and Fergus adding more humour to the story gives the book that ‘never put down feel’. 3 Stars
