'Worried about the future of the cat cafe, Ellie and Blake investigate a rumour at the local park. It's the perfect place to test their new ability to understand animals - and there's a bird who's happy to talk. Shazza the cockatoo is loud, bossy and obsessed with 'numnums'. All she wants is to return to Australia. But for now she'll settle for inviting herself home with Ellie and Blake, who soon learn that getting along with animals can be just as hard as getting along with people.' (Publication summary)
