Catching the school's runaway guinea pigs is not giving Alex job satisfaction; he needs a proper mission for his and Jess's awkward superpowers. And the local animal sanctuary needs them!

· Alex Sparrow needs a new mission! Jess is more worried about the bullied new boy, whose mum runs the Cherry Tree Lane animal sanctuary.

· The duo volunteer at the sanctuary but soon realise something is very wrong – the animals are terrified.

· Things get stranger; there are holes in the road, property destroyed, and the local squirrels have turned mean.

The police have no suspects. It looks more and more like a job for Agent Alex...



Jennifer Killick always wanted to be a writer, but really started when she applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University, which is where she got the idea for her first book Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink. Since then she has gone on to write many books, including two more in the Alex Sparrow series; Mo Lottie and the Junkers; Bookbuzz bestseller Crater Lake and sequel Crater lake Evolution. Jennifer lives in Uxbridge, in a house full of children, animals and Lego.



The lovable and irrepressible Alex Sparrow is back with his crime fighting partner Jess and a host of new and wonderful furry (and sometimes spiky) friends. This is a sequel that builds wonderfully on the first instalment; there's more laughs, more baddies and even more fun but we also get to see the softer side of Alex, and watch the friendship between our heroes deepen into something really touching. Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury cements this series and it's author as a must read for all children. Prepare to have your tonsils tickled and your heart squeezed in this adorable, romp of an adventure by the hugely talented Jennifer Killick. Mystery, mayhem and even more irrepressible banter combine in this joyfully funny, furry and delightful sequel
