Second in the 'Lone Pine' series, this book is about Peter's lonely Uncle Micah, grieving for his son who left home after an argument some years previously. It's also an exciting adventure for David Morton and his somewhat annoying (though generous and loyal) twin siblings, Dickie and Mary. Intended for teenagers, suitable for children, and a good light read for anyone! I have read it several times over the years, but only recently acquired a hardback edition, which has a lot more conversation and general characterisation than the abridged Armada which I had previously read. Very enjoyable, best to read after 'Mystery at Witchend', but it's not essential. Full review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2020/08/seven-white-gates-by-malcolm-savill... Better than Famous Five or Secret Seven (which i loved). Loved this book as a child; a girl goes to stay with her uncle in Shropshire near the Stiperstones mountain. Atop of the Stiperstones sits the Devils Chair: a rocky outcrop that can't be seen during foggy weather (when the devil sits down). She makes friends with the local kids and they form a gang with a brilliant hideout. They find out some curious things about the locals and notice some strange goings on, which of course, get investigated. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

* The introduction of the Romany family (who appear in a number of subsequent stories)
* The addition of Jenny to the Lone Piners
* Meeting Uncle Micah, and, subsequently, Charles Sterling
and reinforcement of a plot which necessitates the Lone Piners separating, having their own adventures, and coming back together in a dramatic climax.
The twins are developed as characters, and this is mainly Peter's story.
The original hardback publication has a greater level of inappropriate sexism and colorful descriptions of Peter eating hedgehog, and Mackie dispatching rats in a barn.
The book is dated by the way a boiled egg and a slice of bread and butter is still seen as a feast
