Will and His Dog and the Stolen Eggs

By Paul Cook

Two ospreys have made their nest in a tree on James's land. The female osprey has laid two eggs. The eggs of birds of prey are valuable and James is worried that someone might try to steal them. James asks Will and Charlie to watch the nest from a hide and to contact him over a walkie talkie if anything happens. A man comes to steal the eggs and things go from bad to worse he sees Will and Charlie. The boys run off. The man chases them. How will the boys escape? This book contains scenes of mild violence which might upset some readers.
Will is eight years old and lives with his mum, dad and his dog, Clive. He spends much of his time with his best friend Charlie who lives in the house on the opposite side of the street and Alexandra, his next door neighbour. Will is a good boy, but he does have an unfortunate habit of getting into situations which often go from bad to worse.
The author, Paul Cook, wrote these stories for his eight year old son Matthew to read as part of his homeschooling activities during the COVID-19 lockdown. Matthew enjoyed reading the stories (or he was just being polite) and so Paul decided to share them online. These short stories are suitable for children aged 8-11 years old.
