Summary

Strangers in the Woods is the second book in the Laura McNaughty Adventures series. The stories are suitable for all age groups, from kids of all levels, to teens and adults too. It's just good family reading. And the books can be read in any order as the stories stand alone. 
  
Laura's brother, Johnny, and his pals have great fun clearing the local tidal pool of some unwelcome visitors; and Laura gets to grips with some strange "goings-on" while camping with her friends on an Island just a few miles off the coast from her favourite beach. Could the unexplained events on the island be linked to the arrival of two mysterious birdwatchers in Stokey's Woods? 
  
Laura McBean lives in the middle cottage of three with her brother Johnny and her mum on the edge of Stokey's Woods. Laura was quite a mischievous girl when she was growing up, and that is how she got the nickname of Laura McNaughty. She doesn't get into as much mischief now because she is that little bit older; but if she finds out that someone has been cruel to animals then that person, whoever he or she maybe, will have Laura and her friends to contend with. 
  
Simon Dudley's, beautifully written and charmingly portrayed, children's book series is a pleasure to read. The lost and nearly forgotten years of 1950's childhood can be experienced within these pages as the author cleverly immerses you into their world. This is a real treat for any reader, young or old, who fancies a bit of time travel back to when kids could literally be kids.

    “Exquisite cut-paper illustrations . . . It tells the story of a few adventurous birds, but it’s really a story about love, overcoming fear, and being human.” —The Atlantic   In the beautiful papercut prose he is known for, Rob Ryan presents a celebration of love and family just as heartfelt as it is visually arresting: Two songbirds eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child, and as they tend to their nest, they can’t help but worry about becoming parents. It’s the generosity and support of their avian friends and neighbors that confirms the world awaiting their unborn chick is indeed full of kindness. Brimming with poetic verse, each page is a work of art that will charm new parents and longtime fans of Ryan’s evocative imagery.  Acclaim for Rob Ryan’s The Invisible Kingdom trilogy   “Gorgeously designed and illustrated.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Readers will long for the next book.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
