It’s such a delight to return to Whistledown Farm and join Ava on a whole new set of adventures as she learns more about life in the countryside and how to care for animals. She and her parents have moved to Whistledown Cottage on the edge of the farm which means they’re there to stay! With summer holidays approaching, Ava is looking forward to long days with her friends in their woodland den and helping with the animals.
Author Nicola Baker shares her enthusiasm and expertise with her readers through brilliantly detailed, real-life experiences. As Ava learns about sheep shearing, bird watching and bees, readers gain valuable knowledge too. The importance of wild flowers and the protection of donkeys in sanctuaries add to the wealth of countryside experience shared.
Most importantly, Ava has the opportunity to care for a litter of puppies, They bring her so much joy and she can’t help but fall in love with a little tricolour pup, Ava would love to adopt her but her parents don’t agree. She’s determined to get them to change their minds and see that she has what it takes to look after a puppy. Her summer of joy turns into a summer of secrets as she tries to make her dream come true.
Meeting Meg is a beautifully gentle story. Readers will be transported to the peace of the farm and recognise the value of spending time outdoors in nature.
