Hill of the Red Fox

I started a new book called "Hill of the Red Fox". It's quite a good book and I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. It is about a boy called Alastair and he is 12 years of age and he goes to Skye for the summer holidays. He stays with the person who is living in the house his father owned and his name is Murdo Beaton. However, he isn't the friendliest person. One day, he says he has to go down to a bothy and check that the door is closed properly and he pretends he has a sprained ankle. Alastair volunteers to go down and he starts to walk across the bridge but slips and falls and he quickly grabs a metal pole supporting the bridge. Suddenly, Duncan Muir comes and grabs him by the hand and yanks him up. A couple of days later a policeman comes and says Duncan had stolen some money from the bothy and he notices that Alastair's knee is cut. He asks what happened to his know. Duncan said it was an accident.
