I wish I had this book to read when I was a kid. I would’ve absolutely devoured it over and over again.

Aves Wood is Twitch’s favourite birding spot in Briddvale, and he plans to spend the summer holidays in his top secret hide which is buried deep in the woods overlooking the pond. 

But after he rescues a distressed pigeon from the school bully, and news gets out that an escaped prisoner is lurking in Aves Wood, Twitch’s summer doesn’t go quite how he expected…

An incredibly uplifting book for kids who might feel like the ‘outcast’, at school or in their friendship circles, for having a passion for nature - I know I felt like that during secondary school and still do now on occasion. 

This was such a fun & wholesome read. Full of birds, nature, mystery & friendship - I can’t think of a more perfect book for nature loving kids. I loved this story so much, I’m currently reading the sequel and I’m already super excited for the third instalment to be released in April!

Twitch is a lovely reminder that being a nature nerd is one of the most wonderful things you can be.
