There’s never a dull moment on Hazel Tree Farm!

Peter is hard at work training sheepdog Blue for the trials at the Ballynoe Fair, while Kate – who wants to be a vet like her mam – has her hands full taking care of her cheeky pet hen, Hettie.

But a trespasser is nearby, getting ready to strike. Hettie and Blue can sense it – can they warn the humans in time? 

The first book in the Hazel Tree Farm series, following the adventures of the Farrelly family, their neighbours, and a host of furry, woolly and feathery friends!

a welcome addition to Irish bookshelves

A delightful tale of farm life, of the farmyard and of the adventures that can take place there. Full of warmth and love this series is sure to be a hit!

I would give this book a 10-star rating
