The highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning novel Twitch from internationally bestselling author M.G. Leonard…
When Jack discovers that someone is hurting local pets, he's determined that the Twitchers will solve the crime. But the Twitchers are more interested in the rare and endangered bearded vulture spotted heading for Aves Woods. Determined to prove himself, Jack sets off to investigate, only to find himself in deep water...
Friendless and alone, Jack must use all his bravery and skills to not only stop a terrible crime, one that could put the bearded vulture in danger, but to prove to his friends that he's a deserving member of The Twitchers after all.

A coffee-mug mountain, home to a million insects, could provide the answer - if Darkus and Baxter are brave enough to find it.

After Darkus Cuttle's father disappears from a locked room at the Natural History Museum, Darkus moves in with his eccentric uncle-and then joins forces with his batty cousins and their supersmart beetles to save his missing dad.
