This fantastic range of fiction for Shared, Guided and Independent reading gives you stories your children will love to read over and over again. Gaelic and Scottish teaching support also accompanies this reading series.

In theory, Uncle Merv has come to stay in order to look after Tony and Ben, but in reality it is Tony who does the looking after and Uncle Merv who fibs about his diet, drinks like a fish and invites burglars to tea.

This is Arf's first novel-length adventure, for a slightly older age group, and is a perfect summer read. Arf expects to have to stay at home during the school holidays, while his sisters enjoy a trip to France. However, because of his customary haplessness, the plans go awry and he find himself running a camping ground and re-enacting a battle between the Saxons and the Normans! Acclaim for the series: '...a quartet of books with robust child appeal ...the brief is clearly to appeal to those recently emerging from reading schemes but requiring continuing support. But the stories have a fresh originality that will make them great favourites' - Lindsey Fraser, Guardian Education Book of the Week, 13/05/03.
