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 * Twitch is a thrilling fast-paced adventure, full of characterful animals and tenacious children, with friendship and nature at its heart. I loved it. It' s the sort of book I would have read and re-read immediately as a child. Birds, mystery and fowl play! What more could you want? * Gill Lewis * Enthralling from beginning to end, it really touched my young bird-loving heart! Just wonderful! * Dara McAnulty, author of Diary of a Young Naturalist * Twitch is a compelling read - an adventure mystery with birds - what more could any reader want? ! * Stephen Moss, author and birder * Like a skilled weaver bird, M. G. Leonard has pulled together threads of adventure, friendship and the pure unassuming beauty of nature to produce a book that could have been a collaboration between David Attenborough and Roald Dahl. Read it! * Dr Jess French, vet, presenter and author *
