"""I nestled down to read this and ended up reading 2/3 in one sitting and the rest later the same day, so compelling were the exploits of the fledgling detectives. ‘Feather’ hits the ground running and the pace never lets up… I love the way MG Leonard writes: she respects her young readers allowing so much to be shown and not told. * NetGalley Reviewer * The last installment in the Twitch series is a real treat with a lot of plot twists. The writing is as beautifully done as the previous books in the series. It has a fast-paced beginning that grips you right from the start. * NetGalley Reviewer * This series is so refreshing – championing the environment and inspiring children to go outdoors and explore. There is an incredible level of detail when it comes to descriptions of bird species, the history of famous scientists like Darwin and Wallace, as well as a heart-stopping mystery... True to form, the Queen of Middle Grade Mystery, M.G. Leornard takes readers through all the elements great detectives need to consider: clues, leads, motives, suspects and the very real danger that comes with confronting a criminal. * Scope for Imagination * Inspired by a true crime podcast called 'The Feather Heist', this book gets a wholehearted 5 stars from us and we recommend this, and the other three in the series for children age 9-12. * NetGalley Reviewer * I think this is my favourite book out of the series. * NetGalley Reviewer *"
