Elizabeth Honey

Count the busy wrens on their fine stick legs, the bowerbird's treasures, his bottle tops and pegs.

Tom plays a game of imagination as the daffodil bulb given to him by his kindly neighbour grows first into a green beak, then turns into a rocket, and finally into a trumpet of gold.

A funny, suspenseful novel for 11-14s – a quirky detective story about righting the wrongs of the past and the present, and a touching story of friendship, football and the power of the Internet.
