The history of CLAN MACGREGOR is very rich, with its struggles involving other Clans at a time when free-booters were prevalent throughout Great Britain. Rosie MacGregor is challenged by her teacher to recount how the MacGregors came about through an assignment while on "vacation" one summer. Her father recalls what he knows from his own father and grandfather, and Rosie discovers she is related to a famous free-booter named Rob Roy, or Robert MacGregor. Her twin brother is fascinated by the fact that a free-booter was a pirate or plunderer. A criminal in the family, how about that?

About the Book
CLAN MACGREGOR is a story about the twins born to Minerva and Ian MacGregor, namely Rosie and Ranny. The story starts off when they are twelve years old, an age that is very crucial to preteens. With their feelings toward certain friends and with hormones that are hard to deal with, their lives are fraught with everyday conundrums. The time is set in Great Britain in the early 1900s, about the time that automobiles came on the scene and telephones began to be installed in homes around the country. Some of their friendships are seriously challenged, and sometimes things work out for the best. The twins are gifted in different ways, but they stay true to themselves and their parents who love them. Tragedy, love interests, and unpleasantness are all in the character of this book. Readers will follow along and enjoy the stories within until the very end.
