The Twitchers Series

by M. G. Leonard

(158 reviews)

A thrilling mystery nature adventure for budding bird-watchers ages 8+! This is an award-winning series that has captivated so many Toppsta readers and that is bound to inspire more and more readers, from the internationally bestselling author of Beetle Boy and the Adventures on Trains books.

It's no mystery that attention to detail is key to solving mysteries. Enter Twitch, the birdwatching DETECTIVE.. Twitch has three pet chickens, four pigeons, swallows nesting in his bedroom and a passion for birdwatching. And, most importantly, a keen eye and clever thinking.

Twitch's birdwatching skills will serve him well, but he is not the only clever birdwatcher in town. He will quickly form a band of fellow birdwatching detectives, THE TWITCHERS, and together they will outwit an escaped convict, uncover sinister criminal plots and even catch thieves!

What are you waiting for? To join the Twitchers, you must have a pencil and notebook to hand, binoculars, maybe even a camera, and you'll just have to repeat The Twitchers Club Oath:

"I do solemnly swear never to knowingly hurt a bird. I will respect my feathered friends and help them when they are in need. I will protect every bird, be it rare, endangered or common, and fight to conserve their habitats, or may crows peck out my eyes when I'm dead. For I am a twitcher, now and for ever."

This is the perfect school summer holiday read for all lovers of mystery and detective books, readers that love friendship stories and nature, and all fans of The Polar Bear Explorer's Club, The Adventure Club and The After School Detective Club.

Let's go solve a birdwatching mystery!

All The Twitchers books in order:

Book 1: Twitch (2021)
