Synopsis:

A Boggart is a creature of the Wild Magic, a kind of house-elf, but which delights in mild mischief without a sense of responsibility. The one inhabiting a lonely Scottish island gets taken back to Canada by the family of the castle's new owners and the children must manage to send him back to Scotland

Notes:

Enjoyable, and particularly attractive because of the childlike figure of the Boggart: magical and therefore powerful, but who only plays mischievous tricks.
