What is Swanfall about?
Pip feels most at home among the wetlands and the Arctic swans that return each winter. But this year, three of his favourite birds are missing. As strange footprints appear in the snow and whispers drift across the marsh, Pip discovers an old letter linked to the Irish legend of the Children of Lir. With the help of his friends, he follows a trail of clues involving spells, ghosts and an ancient curse, uncovering a danger that threatens both people and swans.
