the jeopardy comes in flocks ... Find your nest, curl up and
enjoy." The Times, Children's Book of the Week "A twist-laden,
thriller-like tale of a bird-mad boy, some bullies and an escaped
convict hiding in the nearby woods." Observer "A twisty crime drama
as well as a persuasive story about friendship and nature." The
Sunday Times "Simply genius." BBC Wildlife Magazine "[A] pacy
mystery adventure featuring a birdwatching detective hot on the
heels of a dangerous escaped prisoner." iNewspaper "Leonard has
crafted an intelligent mystery from unlikely material, with bonus

"Enthralling from beginning to end, it really touched my young
bird-loving heart! Just wonderful!" Dara McAnulty "Birds, mystery
and fowl play! What more could you want?" Gill Lewis "Glorious!
Full of excitement and wonder!" Sophie Anderson "A brave and
thrilling new adventure from one of my favourite writers. I
honestly didn't put the book down until the very last, exciting,
page-turn and I'm twitching for the next adventure!" Jasbinder
Bilan "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 "Cracking characters, beyond pacy plotting and an ending that
is almost Bugsy Malone-esque!" Phil Earle "Twitch is a compelling
read - an adventure mystery with birds - what more could any reader
want?!" Stephen Moss "Adventure, friendship and the pure unassuming
beauty of nature ... a book that could have been a collaboration
between David Attenborough and Roald Dahl." Dr Jess French "A
superb adventure of friendship, bravery and the wonderful world of
birds, with a strong, but non-preachy theme of the benefits of
connection with the natural world." The Bookseller "One of those
really, really good books ... Recommended for readers around 8 to
12 years old, and grown-ups like me who still enjoy the delight of
a great adventure story!" The Bookbag
