Synopsis
Eager and ready to do his duty as a soldier for Scotland, young Duncan McDonald sets out to join Prince Charles in his battle at Culloden, but when he and his cousin get wrapped up in the fight, the two boys begin to wonder what benefits, if any, can come as a result of the chaos and death they see before them.

About the Author
Jane Yolen lives in Massachusetts and Scotland. Robert J. Harris lives in Scotland.
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up–Duncan is eager to rise to the call of the fiery cross when the men of clan MacDonald follow their chieftain and Bonnie Prince Charlie into war. His father goes, but permits the 13-year-old and his grandfather to accompany them only as far as the meeting place. They return to the farm bursting with tales of the brave Scottish clansmen and their reverence for the prince. When his cousin Ewan learns of his father's death, he insists on revenge and convinces Duncan to run away with him to war. A bloodbath ensues, Ewan is killed, and Duncan follows the prince into a terrifying battle against the British. Just as families gathered around the hearth when elders shared their tales of war and heroism, Yolen and Harris reward readers with a gripping journey into the Scottish Highlands. The brutality, slaughter, and destruction of war are evident throughout, but some of the history might be difficult for readers to follow unless they read the concluding author's note first. Also, some of the dialect can be a bit daunting. The ending relies heavily on coincidence–prone to fits, Duncan has one that actually saves his life, the spirit of his dead sister is there to help him, and he finds the slain Keppoch's valuable brooch. Still, through authentic voices and vivid description, the Battle of Culloden comes alive in this boy's journey into manhood.–Kimberly Monaghan, formerly at Vernon Area Public Library, IL
