Now they’ve returned for another Scottish adventure, joining their old friends Tommy and Mr. Maconochie, the new owner of Castle Keep, on a trip to Loch Ness where a new expedition is determined to find the fabled monster.Of course, the fun-loving Boggart comes along for the ride, and wherever the Boggart goes, things are bound to get lively. But this time, the Boggart has a serious mission.

Is modern science any match for the Boggart’s ancient magic?
