When the only white-headed squirrel in the world, Snowdrop, goes missing from Rose Garden, it’s up to Mitalee and friends to save the day. But the young detectives have only one lead to go on — Snowdrop was last seen in the company of a paradise flycatcher, a beautiful, but mysterious bird.
Lucky for Mitalee, Snowdrop’s garden friends are also on the case.
Led by Kabul the bulbul, Senora the iora, and Bongo the drongo, the intrepid gang of multi-hued birds and daring squirrels will stop at nothing to get Snowdrop back.
While Kabul and company are hot on Snowdrop’s trail, Mitalee and friends discover the dark world of pet trade.
Featuring rich illustrations by Krishna Bala Shenoi, this adventurous and heart-warming tale will have you wishing you could speak the language of birds and animals to make some winged or furry friends of your own.
