Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury cover

Alex is struggling to find fulfillment in capturing runaway guinea pigs, while Jess focuses on a bullied new boy. Strange events unfold, leading them to confront a mysterious threat in their community. Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury captures their adventure.

In Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury, the story follows Alex, a young boy who finds himself feeling unfulfilled while chasing after the school's runaway guinea pigs. Despite his attempts to engage his unique superpowers alongside his friend Jess, he yearns for a more significant challenge. As strange occurrences begin to unfold in their town—missing items, vandalized property, and increasingly aggressive squirrels—Alex realizes that something unusual is afoot. With no suspects in sight, it seems that the local authorities are at a loss, leaving Alex to step up as a potential hero.

Jess, on the other hand, is preoccupied with the new boy at school, who is facing bullying. His mother runs an animal sanctuary, and Jess volunteers there, quickly discovering that the situation is dire. The animals in the sanctuary are acting strangely and appear to be in distress. As Jess investigates further, she uncovers a troubling mystery that intertwines with the strange happenings around town. The bond between Alex and Jess strengthens as they navigate their respective concerns and work together to uncover the truth.

As the story unfolds, both Alex and Jess must confront their fears and use their superpowers in ways they never imagined. The narrative explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the importance of standing up for those who cannot defend themselves. With a blend of humor and adventure, Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury invites readers to join in the excitement as Alex takes on the role of Agent Alex, determined to solve the mystery and protect their community from whatever furry fury is causing chaos.

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; Lorraine Gregory
