Tom Stokes is an orphan. His sister is going to America to get married, but where can he go? They remember an uncle and aunt they scarcely know who live in the borders of Scotland.

Life on the hill-farm, with his new friend Elspeth, and Flash, becomes adventurous and challenging. Then his sister writes that Tom can come and live with her in America, and he is faced with the most difficult decision of his life ...

Review
'The technicalities of sheepdog training and the suspense of the trials are conveyed in an accessible and entertaining manner, and Tom and Flash's adventures in the fog and the rescuing of the sheep in the winter storm create dramatic tension. The characters of his uncle and aunt are presented with warmth and humour and the rural setting is convincingly portrayed.' -- Treasure Islands: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003
