Overview
Take flight with The Twitchers, the award-winning mystery adventure series by bestselling children's author M.G. Leonard, published by Walker Books. This complete four-book paperback collection follows a gang of sharp-eyed birdwatching detectives as they uncover thefts, smugglers and sinister plots hidden in the hedgerows and skies of the British countryside. Blending nature, friendship and page-turning suspense, Twitch, Spark, Clutch and Feather suit curious readers aged 9-12 who love a gripping whodunit with heart, humour and a genuine passion for the natural world around them, wrapped up in one great-value set.
About the Books
In Twitch, a boy with pet chickens, pigeons and a passion for birdwatching stumbles upon an escaped convict hiding in Aves Wood on the first day of the summer holidays, and uses his birdwatching skills to help track down the fugitive and recover the missing loot. Spark sees Jack rescue a wounded cat and suspect foul play, drawing him and the Twitchers into a deepening wildlife crime mystery in the village of Briddvale. In Clutch, the raiding of a protected peregrine falcon nest sparks a dangerous investigation as the gang set out to catch a ruthless thief, only to find themselves ensnared in a deadly trap of their own making. Finally, in Feather, Ava is drawn into a heist at the Royal Swan Natural History Museum when priceless bird of paradise skins vanish, leading to a mystery of a large black feather, a mysterious girl with a pet raven called Caliban, and a dangerous ring of smugglers. Across all four books, the Twitchers use real birdwatching knowledge, teamwork and courage to outwit criminals and protect the wildlife they love. Praised for fast-paced plotting combined with genuine ecological insight, the series has won multiple awards and built a passionate following among young readers, teachers and parents alike. Each story stands alone but rewards being read in order, as characters and friendships deepen from Twitch through to Feather.
