Escape from Silver Street Farm [Hardcover]

Some of the key animals go AWOL just before Silver Street’s opening celebration in the second adventure about the city farm run by kids.

It’s opening day at Silver Street Farm, and Meera, Gemma, and Karl are very excited. Everything is going to plan until the star attractions — the turkeys — go missing along with Bobo and Bitzi, the Silver Street sheep. It takes a lot of detective work (and the enlistment of a pushy ram named Kenny), but the children finally track down the escapees and find the culprits. What they discover are two very surprising turkey rustlers indeed!Davies weaves a richly imaginative and well-written story for emerging readers... A clever story with a unique setting, this book is an ideal selection for children who are starting to tackle chapter books independently. The writing is spirited and lovely...
