The Twitchers have one last mystery to solve – and this time it's
a heist! The final unputdownable adventure in the bestselling
birdwatching detective series from the internationally acclaimed
author of Beetle Boy and Adventures on Trains, wildlife queen M.G.
Leonard. On a school trip to the Royal Swan Natural History Museum,
Ava finds herself at the centre of a heist: hundreds of invaluable
bird of paradise skins from the Alfred Wallace Collection have been
stolen! When she discovers a large jet-black feather, she's sure
it's a clue, but the police won't listen to her. Slipping away, she
takes the case to the Twitchers in a investigation that leads them
to the bizarre and sinister world of fly-fishing, and to a
mysterious girl with a pet Raven called Caliban and a dangerous
ring of thieves and smugglers... Feather is an exciting winter
mystery adventure about friendship, bravery and protecting nature,
perfect for readers 9+ and for fans of Robin Stevens, Lauren St
John and Jenny Pearson. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone
adventure or read as part of The Twitchers series. Praise for The
Twitchers: “Leonard knows her audience and the jeopardy comes in
flocks ... Find your nest, curl up and enjoy.” The Times,
Children's Book of the Week on Twitch "A twist-laden, thriller-like
tale of a bird-mad boy, some bullies and an escaped convict hiding
in the nearby woods." Observer on Twitch "A skilfully crafted
mystery adventure. A clarion call for environmentalists
everywhere." Rob Biddulph, LoveReading4Kids on Spark "A twisty
crime drama as well as a persuasive story about friendship and
nature." Sunday Times on Twitch "Simply genius." BBC Wildlife
Magazine on Twitch "Another pacy wonderful adventure steeped in the
magic of nature and friendship.” Jasbinder Bilan on Spark
“Leonard has crafted an intelligent mystery from unlikely
material, with bonus bird facts.” Irish Times on Twitch “A
winged masterpiece.” Maz Evans on Twitch “Enthralling from
beginning to end, it really touched my young bird-loving heart!
Just wonderful!” Dara McAnulty on Twitch “Twitch is an absolute
triumph. The perfect blend of mystery and adventure, a winning hero
with an eye for ornithological facts and a heart as big as the
countryside, plus a cracking whipsmart plot, I think this is M. G.
Leonard's best book yet.” Christopher Edge on Twitch “Cracking
characters, beyond pacy plotting and an ending that is almost Bugsy
Malone-esque!” Phil Earle on Twitch
