'From rare butterflies to bats and bumblebees, Sophie takes us on a breathless but strangely relaxing whistle-stop tour of Britain in search of some of our less familiar, fragile and fascinating wildlife.

'Pavelle is the best kind of science writer - who makes you feel almost as smart as she is, priming and signposting in such a way that you grasp the punchline in the moment before she delivers it. Make no mistake, this is serious stuff, requiring serious communication. But she balances love and irreverence, data and ditz. I loved the breezy humour, the sass and savviness.' * Dr Amy-Jane Beer, naturalist, writer, campaigner and Guardian Country Diarist *
'A wonderfully refreshing look at the vanishing species around us, what they mean and why they matter.' * Benedict Macdonald, naturalist, wildlife TV producer and author of Rebirding *

Highly recommended.' * Dr Amir Khan, NHS doctor, broadcaster, author and Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts *
