Published to mark the centenary of his birth, a recently discovered adventure by Dick King-Smith, completed by his great granddaughter Josie Rogers. Ambrose is a curious young rabbit with a super sense of smell! When Ambrose meets Biddy, the sparky young niece of his caring owner Jim, the two quickly become friends and Biddy pleads to adopt Ambrose as her pet. Biddy trains Ambrose as a tracker rabbit and his skills are soon put to the test when his sister Roly goes missing. But when Biddy's family find themselves in real danger, can Ambrose and his extraordinary nose save the day
