Maxwell, Katie. They wear what under their kilts?

Sassy 16-year-old Emily Marie Williams continues her wacky British adventures in the follow-up to The Year My Life Went Down the Loo. Deposited with her British best friend Holly at Uncle Alex's sheep farm for a month-long

work/study program, Emily learns everything she NEVER wanted to learn about sheep and more, including the definition of "sheep dip." After only one day in Scotland, Emily learns the most important lesson--she's not cut out for sheep farming. On the bright side, Ruaraidh, a Schottie (Scottish Hottie), also works on the farm. But Emily isn't the only one going mad over the red-haired hunk--Holly's gone too. Let the "Who Can Snog (Kiss) Ruaraidh First Competition" begin!

Once again, Emily's illuminating e-mails to her best friend (Mrs.Legolas@kiltnet.com to Dru@Seattlegrrl.com) give a point-by-point score in the competition and a blow-by-blow description of the ups and downs of sheep farming, friendship and love in the Scottish Highlands. An unusually intriguing background, a brightly colored cast of characters, a beloved cast of old favorites (Brother, Fang and Devon all play a part), smart insight, snarky dialogue, comedy and romance all add up to another wild and wonderful page-turning adventure with Katie Maxwell at the wheel. Lynne Marie Pisano, Nesconset, NY
