BOOK 1 is SPARK by M. G. LEONARD: With a rare vulture sighted in Briddvale and an animal hunter on the loose, it’s time for The Twitchers to solve their first case! When Jack unwittingly discovers that someone in Briddvale is taking pot shots at local pets with a pellet gun, he is determined that The Twitchers will get to the bottom of it. But The Twitchers are more interested in the news that a rare and endangered bearded vulture has been spotted heading for Aves Wood. Determined to prove himself a detective, Jack sets off to investigate, only to find himself in deep water…
Friendless and alone, Jack must use all his bravery and detective skills to not only stop a terrible crime, one that could put the bearded vulture in danger, but to prove to his friends that he’s a deserving member of The Twitchers.

BOOK 2 is INTO GOBLYN WOODS by ANNA KEMP: Hazel has always known she was different, but doesn’t know where she came from. When her best friend Pete is kidnapped by strange creatures, she must gather her courage and enter Goblyn Wood, a forest inhabited by fairies. But their magic is being drained away and Hazel soon realises that her own power is the key to saving both Pete and her new friends. Embarking on an epic journey of self-discovery, can Hazel restore the balance of the fairy realm and save the woods for good?
