The Süderhof novels are set on a farm close to the North Sea. Two sisters live there with their parents, their three cousins and lots of animals. In this story, sea eagles are reintroduced to a conservation area close to the farm, but one night, three eggs are stolen by poachers. Of course the children start helping the biologists and try to catch the poachers.

This novel has all the the ingredients I loved about these books: Horse riding, domestic and wild animals, a good cause and lots of adventures. However, this one was a bit too unrealistic for my taste, and the bickering and harsh atmosphere between the children and also the parents disturbed me. I did love the descriptions of the eagles and the conservation area, though. ( )
