Baker, Nicola: Whistledown Farm 3

With stunning illustrations from Rachael Dean throughout. It's summer at Whistledown Farm and there's plenty for Ava to do – from helping to shear the sheep to baling the hay. But then she meets a litter of border collie pups and suddenly the sunny days get a lot more complicated . . . ‘Baker is a gifted writer, and her bucolic adventure harks back to classic farm stories such as those written by Dick King Smith and Michael Morpurgo’  The Bookseller About the author: Growing up, Nicola spent hours with her nose stuck in a book or filling notebooks with stories and sketches. After a successful career as a physiotherapist and raising two children she’s now come full circle and is writing again. Nicola lives on a smallholding with her husband and two children. When she’s not mucking out chickens or feeding the sheep you’ll find her writing adventure stories for children.
