Dr Dolittle meets Dick King-Smith in this funny charming animal adventure from pop-star, presenter and award-winning farmer JB Gill.

'Ace, you will only inherit the farm if we move in in one week!'

When Ace receives a surprise gift from a long-lost relative, he and his amazing grandparents pack up their life in the city and move to the countryside to live on a run-down farm.

There's an even bigger surprise in-store for Ace when he tries on some magical new wellies and realises he can talk to animals! He's going to need this new skill to take on the evil Councillor Crabbington, who is determined to shut down the farm.

With a little help from Ginger the Pig, some squawkative hens and a new best friend, Ace must find a way to save the farm before Councillor Crabbington gets his hands on it!
