The Boggart / Susan Cooper / 196 pages / Scotland

Emily's family has inherited a castle in Scotland.  They couldn't begin to keep it as her parents' jobs are in the States and the castle would require too much for upkeep.  It will have to be sold.  Emily's mother allows each family member to choose one piece of furniture from the castle to have shipped home to the States.  Emily chooses an old rolltop desk.  Unfortunately, the castle boggart stows away in the desk.  This invisible mischievous spirit loves practical jokes and tends to cause havock.  Can Emily find a way to ship him back to Scotland?  Will he go?  The Boggart is a fun read, a bit of old Scotland, and a reminder that people may not always share your sense of humor or adventure.
