Summary

Village newcomer Alex must vanquish a vicious feathered foe to finally feel at home in this madcap caper from comedy genius and bestselling author Jo Simmons. 
Alex is not happy that his family are moving to the village of Noggings. He’s even less happy when he discovers that Noggings is under siege from a vicious jackdaw called Graham who has been dive-bombing kids in the school playground and terrorising locals. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Alex himself is targeted. But can he defend himself against the flapping fiend and learn what’s really behind these angry avian attacks? 
This is a story of a teenage boy's reluctant journey in a new village. The young adult fiction is filled with humorous moments, emotional themes, and a daily battle against a terrorising jackdaw. It's a short, yet captivating tale of friendship and courage. 
For fans of Danny Wallace (The Boss of Everyone), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), Jeff Kinney (The Deep End), Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), and Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss).
