Whilst firmly set in the present day, Nicola Baker has managed to imbue the Whistledown Farm stories with a really classic feel, and this autumn-set instalment has a particularly cosy vibe. Nature-loving children will be delighted by Ava's latest rescue, a young tawny owl she names Ruby, but as Ava settles back into rural life, even joining the local school this time, the mysterious loss of some charity collection money threatens to ruin her reputation and spoil everything. Can Ava find the culprit and clear her name? A really charming story that I would have adored as a nine or ten year old who was always keen to bottle-feed a lamb or make a den in the woods, not to mention solve a mystery!
