Catching the school's runaway guinea pigs is not giving Alex job satisfaction, but how can he find a bigger test for his and Jess's awkward superpowers? Jess is more worried about the bullied new boy, whose Mum runs the animal sanctuary. She volunteers at the sanctuary, but soon realises that something is very wrong; the animals are terrified. People report strange events: things missing, property destroyed, and the local squirrels have turned mean. The police have no suspects. It looks more and more like a job for Agent Alex...

Alex Sparrow and the furry fury is a very adventurous, addictive book. It is about two agents who both got their powers very young. They are only 11 years old and their names are Jess and Alex. Jess's power is talking to animals. Alex's power is having his right ear that farts when someone or something, including himself, lies. Jess volunteers at the local animal sanctuary but soon realises that something is very wrong. The animals are terrified. In town, things are weird too: Pets going missing, holes in the ground and squirrels have turned mean. I highly recommend this to those of you who want to find out what happens in this book!

The author was pulling me in at the start by putting in humour and funny words and sentences.If you like animals then you'll be mad with some of the characters in this book.

This book first caught my attention with it's eye-catching front cover. As soon as I started reading it I knew I had picked the right book. My favourite character in this book would have to be Colin the Cat [a.k.a Storm ] because his sneaky personality is very cool.

I really enjoyed this book because it is breathtaking and finger nail biting and it had lots and lots of different things in it especially the animals which I enjoyed but also was a bit scared of because of the things that they were doing
