Tessa

Tessa Macintosh is devastated when her mother gives her a silkie bantam instead of the puppy she’s been hoping for.

How can a rooster be her friend, keep her company and scare away Matteo Spiteri and his demented dog?

Tessa discovers that her mum’s choice of pet gives her all that and more.
