Scheme Heroes, Rats, Cats & the Comet. - Cameron Macdonald - Bog

This is two stories. The first of which is Scheme Heroes: A story of three young brothers who live in a scheme in Glasgow, find themselves in some bother and run away from home, frightened to go back because of their father. After a promise to their mother that they would stay out of trouble and not run away she decides to treat them to a holiday on the Isle of Bute. During their stay in Kilchattan Bay one of their new friends goes missing. The Second Story is Rats, Cats & The Comet: This story takes place in a small Glasgow housing scheme in the middle of a dispute among the bin men and their bosses. As the strike continued, the backcourts and streets became littered with black refuse sacks full of rubbish. This caused the houses and streets to become infested with cockroaches, mice and rats, the biggest problem being the rats. Three young brothers, Cameron aged 11, Stewart aged 10 and David is aged 9. An incident with the rats and the alignment of the comet gave them the power to understand the cats and rats. They unite with the cats and together they hatch a plan to end the reign of terror of the rats.
