Alice Shah doesn’t want to go on holiday to Scotland, and she most definitely doesn’t want to go to grey, dreary Skye. Alice has a love for elegant, classy clothes, and she spends hours on her appearance every morning. Alice considers herself a sophisticated, elegant lady, and she has no desire to go tramping through muddy fields to visit crumbling old castles. Unfortunately for Alice, however, her dad is determined to spend their summer in Skye so he can meet up with a former friend, Ian Carter, and his family: his wife, the haughty Hilda, and their ginger spawn, the loud and boisterous Piper. Alice hasn’t seen Piper since they were small children, and she has few memories of her. She doubts that she’ll be able to get on with anybody who lives on a teeny-tiny island full of sheep, but Alice is pleasantly surprised. Piper isn’t as abrasive as her father, or as stuck-up as her mother. Piper is cheerful and laid-back, and she takes a liking to Alice almost at once. A friendship begins to blossom between the two girls – but what will happen when Alice’s holiday ends and she has to go back to London?
