Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Weird Sisters
ByPublisher Description
Shona McMonagle is your ordinary, garden-variety librarian: comfortably padded, in her middle years, expert in various arcane martial arts. She also has an impressive knack for time travel ("impressive" may be overstating things: her first two forays—revolutionary Russia, 19th-century France—went less than smoothly).
Her latest mission? Head to 11th-century Scotland, cozy up to Macbeth and Lady M, prevent them from murdering Duncan. In the ordinary course of things, this would be a doddle. But then there are the witches, who prove remarkably quick to take offense. And the business of being turned into a mouse. And the fact that the mission is in truth threefold. One, keep Duncan alive and kicking; two, correct the historical record and lay bare the ludicrous lies introduced by that silly Shakespeare play; and three, burnish the honor of the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, the finest institution of pedagogy in the greater Edinburgh area. Can she do it? Of course, she can! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A LIBRARIAN!

“Well isn't this a hoot of a book?! I didn't know too much about this series going and I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it hilarious! A time-travelling librarian that goes back to the times of Macbeth and has a mystery to solve, but doesn't know what it is - how could I not love it? Plus, she hates the ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ but I admit I have never been fond of that book either! So all in all it was a match made in biblio heaven!
Shona is a proud librarian and is saving the population of Edinburgh from ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ as she feels it slanders her alma mater the Marcia Blaine School for Girls! Whilst making a cup of tea she is transported back in time to the era of Macbeth! There must be a mystery to solve but she doesn't know what?!

Come on in!
That joke made me snort! Like so strongly that my husband paused playing his games and asked if I was okay! This book is wickedly funny - I want to quote and rave about all the jokes but I don't want to spoil it for you guys. Plus, I adored the character of Shona - I'm always a sucker for a well educated, martial arts expert librarian.
I flew through this book in an evening and it's a very excellent cosy comedy that I think most people would enjoy! I just loved it!”
