Description
As summer ends on Hazel Tree Farm, the Farrellys have a lot on their minds.
Kate is doing her best to inspire the people of Ballynoe with her 'Operation Plan Bee', a scheme to protect the precious insect population. Meanwhile, Mam and Dad are hoping a new herd of giddy Angus heifers will improve the farm finances.
Peter dreads going back to school, especially now he knows that rude Simon Sinclair, who has moved into the big house down the road, will be in his class. When Simon goes missing, Kate, Peter and their loyal sheepdog Blue rush to help with the search. But are they too late?
The next instalment in the Hazel Farm series, following the adventures of Peter and Kate Farrelly, their parents and neighbours and a host of furry and feathered friends!

Alma Jordan lives on a farm in County Meath with her husband Mark and son Eamon. After a successful career in marketing and communications, she founded the award-winning social enterprise AgriKids in 2015 to spread a message of farm safety to children in a fun and engaging way. Alma grew up on a farm in County Kildare, and the Hazel Tree Farm series features lots of real-life stories from her childhood, as well as moments shared by the children she meets through her work today.
Margaret Anne is a children's book illustrator and can usually be found scribbling in a sketchbook. For a while she did product illustration for a clock company . . . but that's a story for another time. In a digital world, Margaret Anne still works by hand, creating illustrations that are sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, but always delightful. She was raised in the American Deep South and being a dual citizen has given her illustrations a uniquely cheerful colour palette and a distinct femininity.
