Animal antics and comic capers abound in this wildly imaginative, off-the-wall school story populated by monitor lizards Zeke and Daniel, wombats, pelicans and more!  Traditional themes around friendships and bullying are imaginatively subverted providing a fresh and funny read that nonetheless has true heart.

Themes:

  • Animals 
  • School  
  • Friendship 
  • Bullying 
  • Mental health 
  • Disability 
  • Poverty 
  • Humour 
  • Empathy
