It's winter at Whistledown Farm and there's plenty for Ava to do – from harvesting the holly from the woods to sell at the Christmas market, to helping a hibernating hedgehog, to sledging. Then Ava finds a little kitten wandering up the farm track and suddenly the winter days get even busier for Ava.
‘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
