📚 In Arabella Pepper, The Wild Detective by E.R. Murray, and illustrated by Monika Pollak, our young heroine has dyslexia, and you’ll get a glimpse into what it’s like to live with this condition.

Mystery of missing pets, navigating friendships and family issues, a pet crow who is getting ready for a special pet show contest, and wonderfully skilful illustrations – so many reasons to give your 9-12 yo child a perfect read, especially if they love adventure and detective stories 🐦✨

Available to buy via our website naturalworldpublishing.ie (with next-day delivery if you order by 4pm, and An Post keeps their promise), or check in your local bookstore.

Only one copy left!

‘Remarkable Creatures: a guide to some of Ireland’s disappearing animals’ was the first book published by Natural World Publishing, back in 2021. It did far better than I ever expected, and gave me the push I needed to keep going – publishing more nature-focused books and sharing my love for wildlife.

I’ve honestly lost track of how many times it was reprinted – five or six, I think! So a big thank you to everyone who bought a copy, and to the 42 libraries around the country who keep it on their shelves for young readers. It’s lovely to know it’s still being read.

We’re now down to our very last copy, which comes with a little curlew badge. I don’t think there’ll be another reprint – time to make space for new books! :)
