Dr Dolittle meets Dick King-Smith in this funny charming animal adventure from pop-star, presenter and award-winning farmer JB Gill

Dr Dolittle meets Dick King-Smith in this funny, charming animal adventure from pop-star, presenter and award-winning farmer JB Gill. The perfect next read for fans of Michael Morpurgo's Mudpuddle Farm and David Baddiel's Animalcolm!

'Ace couldn't believe his ears. NO WAY did a pig, two goats and a donkey just speak!'

When Ace receives a surprise gift from a long-lost relative, he and his amazing grandparents pack up their life in the city and move to the countryside to live on a run-down farm.

And there's an even bigger surprise in-store for Ace when he tries on some magical new wellies and realises he can talk to animals! He's going to have to master this new skill to take on the evil Councillor Crabbington, who is determined to shut down the farm!

With a little help from Ginger the Pig, some squawkative hens and a new best friend, Ace must find a way to save the farm before Councillor Crabbington gets his hands on it!

Full of hilarious illustrations from Becka Moor, the illustrator behind Pamela Butchart's Wigglesbottom Primary series!
