The Highwayman's Curse by Nicola Morgan
Dastardly deeds and historical high adventure continue in this thrilling sequel from an award-winning author. On the run from the redcoats, the two young highwaymen, Will and Bess, find themselves in Galloway, Scotland, blamed for a murder they did not commit. Here they are captured by smugglers and become embroiled in a story of hatred and revenge that goes back for generations, to the days of the Killing Times.
A terrific tale, gripping from start to finishThe Times Excellent...I'd recommend it as a great read for lovers of good fiction. FirstNews As rich and flavoursome as Morgan's first novel, this one develops the political message a little further and finds more ways to relate them to world events of today. It's just as exciting, but the claustrophobic vicious circle of hatred and poverty gives it a darker, less romantic feel. Excellent development for the young reader. Highly recommended. www.thebookbag.co.uk Poignant. An energetic, lively and powerful tale which is even better than its appealing predecessor. As a set text this would appeal to both sexes, and its themes and description provide excellent material for pupils to analyse and of course, enjoy! www.writeaway.org.uk
