Good characterisation in this children's book, but the adventure mostly involves bird-watching and camping, neither of which particularly interest me.

Worth reading after 'All Summer Through' and 'Christmas in Nettleford', which I finished earlier in the year, or for a child of about 8-12 who's not quite ready for the better-known 'Lone Pine' series by the same author. And I'm glad I've finally re-read these books after, probably, about fifty years.

But although I recalled the series with some fondness - and the children did rather get under my skin - I have no inclination to look for the fourth in the series.
