The twins are in bed when it happens: they hear a sound like a wet cabbage hitting the wall. Then a clattering on the roof tiles, followed by a tapping at the window. It's a girl with a broken wing - and she's come to stay.

Who is she? Where has she come from? She could be their guardian angel, but would an angel have filthy feet and snore?

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

I found this book in the otago museum and will release it again now that it's been read. I read this to my daughter and she really enjoyed it. It is a quirky little book and a bit of fun. Some of the plot is a bit thin, but hey, my 5 year old didn't mind that!
