I loved reading this book - the new one from MG Leonard and final in the Twitches series did not disappoint.
It's my favourite book in this bird themed quartet, each book focusing on a different character and set in a different season, with a different bird themed mystery to solve.
Ava can't wait for the school holidays. Just one last day and then she can return to Briddvale and see her friends. As the term comes to an end, Ava and her class head off on a school trip to the Royal Swan Natural History Museum. Whilst there, Ava realises that hundreds of special Bird of Paradise skins have been stolen from the museum's collection. When she finds a black feather, she's sure it must be a clue to the mystery, but the police won't listen to Ava's theory. So along with the rest of the Twitchers, her fellow bird loving friends, Ava decides to try and solve the mystery herself. Along the way to solving the crime she encounters, amongst other things, a group of fly fishers and a girl with a pet raven called Caliban...but can she solve the crime and bring the skins bak to the museum, where they belong.
A wonderful and exciting book, beautifully written.
This book is about a group of children called the Twitchers who love to solve a mystery. Some valuable bird skins from a museum have been stolen. The Twitchers find a black feather at the scene of the crime. Can the Twitchers find out who committed the crime and why? What does the feather have to do with the mystery?
I like how the book is written; it is funny yet thrilling to read at the same time. The characters all have different personalities but one thing they all have in common is they all love birds. My favourite character is Twitch because he is knowledgeable and helpful. He cares the most about birds and even looks after some.
Some of the themes in this book are friendship, mystery and adventure. It is friendship because the Twitchers all have to work together to solve the mystery and they all have different traits that are useful when investigating.
This is the 4th book in the Twitchers series. It might be helpful to read the previous books in this series which are called Twitch, Spark and Clutch. If you enjoyed the ‘Adventure on Trains’ series by M.G.Leonard, you might like this book too.
I would rate this book 5 stars out of 5 as I liked the clever storyline.
