Snowdrop the Spikeshuffler- Chapter 2

You may already be familiar with our book, Snowdrop: The Spikeshuffler, that tells the story of our very own mascot, Snowdrop the Hedgehog.

Writer Peter Barron Media and illustrator Jonathan Raiseborough Illustration have transformed our Snowdrop: The Spikeshuffler book into an animated audio book in aid of #AutismAcceptance Week 2020!

We posted chapter 1, so now it's time for chapter 2: The Test of Survival.
