Species in danger? Girl and shrew to the rescue!

When 8-year-old Agnes is signed up for SPEARS (the Society for the Protection of Endangered and Awesomely Rare Species), she has no idea of the adventures that lie ahead with her elephant-shrew mentor, Attie (short for "Attenborough"). Operation Honeyhunt sends them to the Atlantic rainforest, on a mission to save an endangered, dance-loving bee named Elton. Will Agnes pass the test and become a full SPEARS agent?

This book is co-authored with the magnificent Jennifer Bell. You can find out more about her on her website.
