Real Pigeons Splash Back

The world's greatest crime-fighting pigeons are making a BIG SPLASH as they try to solve the most puzzling mysteries yet.

In this hilarious best-selling series, the brave birds known as the REAL PIGEONS track down a DEMON who is draining every bath in the city, a PRANKSTER causing trouble in the beach town of CHIPOPOLIS and a shadowy bad guy who wants to make the world go DOTTY ... and end the Real Pigeons at the same time! 

No-one can protect a city like Rock, Frillback, Tumbler, Homey and Grandpouter. But who will protect the pigeons when they don’t even know how to SWIM?
