Description
The Real Pigeons are fighting crime and TRAPPING SNACKS in the hilarious fourteenth adventure of this blockbuster series!
Ever wonder why pigeons always act so weird? It's because they're out there solving mysteries, fighting crime and saving your butts! But when their favourite park bench goes MISSING, some UNREAL pigeons show up, and fish start FLYING, the pigeon network starts to crumble. Will they remember what made them so strong? Or is it all over?
This best-selling Australian series is beloved by readers worldwide, with more than half a million books sold in ANZ. With three hilarious, silly and engrossing mysteries in every Real Pigeons book, it's perfect for fans of Bad Guys and Bunny vs Monkey and young readers aged 6β10 years.
βCombining the best of a graphic novel and traditional narrative, McDonald's text charms and entertains, while Wood's often hilarious illustrations kick it to next-level fun. Although light-hearted in tone, Real Pigeons Flap Out tackles serious themes including friendship, bravery, problem-solving, loyalty and more.β β CBCA Reading Time
