Each of the characters have a part to play in the case, using their individual strengths, but also working together as part of the Twitcher team.It's a story of knowing right from wrong, strong friendships and loyalty. You'll learn plenty more interesting facts about the bird world, and if you"ve loved the previous books in this series, you are guaranteed to enjoy this latest installment!

Bought this as a gift for my 12 year old son who really enjoys this series. We found these through the author who also did the train series which he enjoyed

I loved the plot is confusing at first but the mystery unwind like a knot at the end perfect for ages 6+.

I very much enjoyed the first two books in the series so I was excited to read this one. (You don’t have to have read the previous books though to enjoy this one).I did find it took a little while for me to get into it, but then I raced through to the end.Twitch and his gang return, and this time they need to save the eggs in Aves Wood from an unknown egg-collector. Jack is keen to solve the mystery and figure out who is stealing the eggs. I did guess quite early on, but it was still a satisfying conclusion.Young nature-lovers and mystery-lovers will enjoy this new book in the series.

grandson loves it.

Brought the collection for my son and sister they are over the moon.

Thanks

Loved this book from start to finish!
