The Twitchers is a thrilling mystery adventure series by Leonard, the internationally bestselling author of Beetle Boy and the Adventures on Trains series. The first book in the series, Twitch, follows a birdwatching detective named Twitch as he tries to outwit an escaped convict hiding in Aves Wood.

Twitch has a passion for birdwatching and lives with three pet chickens, four pigeons, swallows nesting in his bedroom, and a love for the natural world. On the first day of the summer holidays, he arrives at his secret hide to find police everywhere: a convicted robber has broken out of prison and is hiding in Aves Wood.

Twitch must use his talents for birdwatching to hunt for the dangerous prisoner and find the missing loot. Along the way, he encounters some bullies who are causing trouble in the nearby woods.

The book is a twist-laden, thriller-like tale that celebrates friendship, bravery, and the incredible world of birds. It is perfect for readers 9+ and for fans of Robin Stevens, Lauren St John, and Jenny Pearson. The book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone adventure or as part of the The Twitchers series.

Praise for Twitch has been pouring in from critics and readers alike. The Times called it "a twisty crime drama as well as a persuasive story about friendship and nature," while BBC Wildlife Magazine praised it as a "pacy mystery adventure featuring a birdwatching detective hot on the heels of a dangerous escap."

Overall, The Twitchers is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery adventure with a touch of nature and friendship. Leonard's writing is simply genius, and the characters are unforgettable. Don't miss out on this thrilling summer mystery adventure!
