Our Star Rating: 1.5
Ali Ferguson has just moved into Lever Tower with his mum. It’s not long before he meets Caitlin and the Alsatian dog she looks after, Falcon, who doesn’t take too kindly to being walked on a lead. Caitlin introduces Ali to her best friend, Gez, and together the three set out to discover why the foxes have disappeared from the area secondly, why the owls have appeared and, thirdly, why Miss Osborne has, it seems, vanished . . . And how exactly her disappearance is related to the previous two.
With the help of his friends and, significantly, Caitlin’s dad, Ali and his mum begin to feel comfortable and happy in their new life without Ali’s dad.
This book is a funny and lively adventure mystery about 3 children making friends, solving a mystery and working out their problems – however we did think that it was possibly for a younger audience than our 5th & 6th Class book club. So if you know any avid readers in 3rd or 4th – we think they might like this.
