I read this book to my after-school group of children ranging from ages 7 to 9, and it was successful in keeping this usually rowdy group quiet and engaged.

In my opinion, a wonderfully entertaining book for girls and boys of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor young readers aged 7 to 10, and the perfect bedtime story for the wee ones - they will keep coming back for more: )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTales from the Adventures of Algy are also loved by many grown-ups who are still young at heart, and who are enchanted by this delightful breath of fresh air from the rugged coast of the Scottish Highlands, and the sense of joy which these stories bring to readers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith original colour illustrations by the author, and a glossary of Scottish and Gaelic words and names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can learn more about Algy and discover all his facilities for young readers at adventuresofalgy.com.
