It was a very interesting read. My favourite part is when Twitch found out that Billy was not who he said he was.

Twitch is a lonely, mega birdwatcher. He has two pigeons and three chickens living in his house. When an escaped convict is rumoured to be hiding in Aves Woods, he jumps into action and tries to solve the case before things get out of hand.

I really liked this book because it contains on of my best interests, bird watching. It was also full of drama. I really liked Twitch the most as he was the birdwatcher, and I felt sorry for him when Jack betrayed him. I would recommend this book to fellow birdwatchers.

This book is a fiction, mystery, adventure book. Twitch is the main character, who loves birds, but he only has a mum. He has three pet chickens, four pigeons, swallows living in his bedroom but a dangerous criminal is on the loose and their are millions of pounds missing . But many more things happen in this story

Very good book. I just couldn't stop reading it and there were so many cliff-hangers. My favourite character was Twitch (or Corvus).

I absolutely loved this book! It had a very unexpected twist which I’ll not spoil. I really loved twitch and his love for birds and his talent to build hidden forts in aves wood, his favourite bird watching place. I really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend it.
