Description

Thirteen-year-old Lottie McGrath seems like an average Australian teenager trying to navigate life. She keeps to herself while sitting through classes and dreams of one day joining the older girls in an exciting academic competition that's to be held at their school. But there's more to Lottie than meets the eye. Like her vivid daydreams in which she's living the life of Aideen, an eighteenth-century Scottish Highlander who longs to fight alongside her husband, chief of the MacUahmnhans, in the upcoming Battle of Culloden. Aideen is everything Lottie isn't: fierce, brave, and unwilling to take no for an answer. Lottie loves losing herself in the romance and adventure of Aideen's life, which is so different from her own.
As these visions become more and more real, however, Lottie senses a deeper connection with Aideen that she doesn't fully understand. And why has Miss Nayar, the enigmatic head teacher at her school, taken such an interest in Lottie lately? When she invites Lottie to participate in the academic competition, Lottie finds herself on an extraordinary journey between lives past and present that leads her to a destiny she never could have predicted.
