In 1771, Robert Burns, future national poet and folk hero of
Scotland, has big problems. 12-year-old Rab spends all of his time
doing backbreaking work on his family's farm instead of attending
school, but when he finds a hag stone in one of the fields,
everything changes. Looking through its circular hole, he sees
witches gathering in a coming storm, and they've set their sights
on his family. Can Rab save his sisters from the clutches of the
witches' coven before their Halloween ceremony in the old kirk?
Filled with mystery and magic, Hag Storm is a spooky, historical
adventure with a supernatural twist, based on the life of Robert
Burns and one of his most famous and best-loved poems, Tam
O'Shanter.
