Grandfather McAndrews had been a Scottish scientist, inventor of a baldness cure on whose profits the family still lives, and builder of a small submarine in which he hunted sea monsters in his private loch in the West Highlands. Father is in Geneva arguing about beetles.

It is the young McAndrews' -- Andy, Fiona and Roddy -- who welcome cousin Emma Tupper for the summer holidays and make her a part of their incessant joking. Contains adventure, mystery, interpersonal relationships, wry humour, and the most stunning setting in the lochs of Scotland.
