Tom and Beth are gutted that they have been moved to North Berwick; it was ok when they were just visiting but how are they expected to live here when all it does is rain?
On a cold Saturday afternoon, however, their interest is spiked when they meet the Professor and his strange inventions. It is Tom and Beth alone who can help the Professor save the wildlife of the Firth of Forth when a tanker crashes onto some of the rocks and threatens the sea with it's cargo of oil.
This book has bite; it's a gripping story as the twins desperately keep the Professor's secret whilst also risking their lives to help him in his mission. It's part thriller, part sci-fi. But actually, the science bit I found very convincing rather than fantastical.
Beth is a fiery, strong-willed girl, while Tom is her calmer other half. They do very well to keep their parents in the dark!
The plot was exciting, dangerous and had great characters; I loved the premise and the fact that everyone in the town was so concerned about the environment not simply because of the impact on tourism, but demonstrating genuine love for the wildlife that inhabit the sea.
