IT'S HERE ! BOOK 3 of FLUTTABEE TALES 'OPAL MISSES THE RACE' What sort of Race would Opal miss? Opal is normally the cautious Fluttabee among her friends and wouldn't risk doing something dangerous unless it was something special. Is this Race that special? Has her friend Whiz organised a Race for the Fluttabees? Whiz loves to challenge her and her friends. Or are the Fluttabee families racing each other? Or is the Race outside the Garden? What sort of Race would make them risk going outside the garden? Has she missed the Race because she was too scared to be in it? If it was outside the garden was she too scared to go over the wall? Or did she go with her friends, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire and Whiz to the Race, or did she go with someone else and have an accident so missed the Race? All these questions....... 'Opal only knows that every Fluttabee in her hive has been buzzing about the race for weeks. Yet nobody seems certain what is going to happen today... 'Opal can hardly concentrate.'
