The Twitchers series by M.G. Leonard goes from strength to strength. Clutch, the third adventure, finds the gang back together again. There are peregrine falcons nesting on Passerine Pike. When their eggs are stolen, the mystery begins, police are involved and everyone’s a suspect!
The Twitchers are determined to find the thief and stop them from stealing any more eggs. A rare pair of Spoonbills nesting on the edge of the pond makes their mission even more urgent. Twitch loves birds so much: he can’t bare to think of anything happening to them. So when he comes under scrutiny, he doesn’t know where to turn. Can Twitch and his friends get themselves out of trouble and save the precious creatures of Aves Woods?
Just like Twitch and Spark, Clutch is so readable. I sat down with the intention of reading the first few chapters and soon found myself half-way through, unable to put it down. With heart-stopping moments and true edge-of-your-seat jeopardy, there’s no telling where the story is going until the very end.
The combination of incredibly likeable characters, a celebration of nature and classic mystery creates an engaging series children are sure to love. These books are brilliant for reading aloud at home or in any Key Stage Two classroom. Independent readers will devour them and eagerly look forward to the next adventure. I really recommend investing in all three books for school and class libraries. There is so much value in reading them for pleasure as well as the educational value in learning about birds, their eggs and their habitats. Soon we’ll be overrun with budding ornithologists and oologists!
