When Zeke and his friends become Hall Monitors, they have no idea what they’re in for. Especially when Pelicarnassus – school bully and wannabe supervillain – develops a grudge that gets wildly out of hand …

Can they save their school – and maybe the world – from being destroyed by a megalomaniac pelican? A hilarious new school comedy from multi-award-winning author Patrick Ness.

Critic reviews

'Oh, man, I love this! A fun and quirky schoolyard romp with a cast of clever, heartfelt, hilarious characters from all across the animal kingdom. This Lizard Nobody is bound to be Somebody.' (Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell)
'Absolutely bananas and perfectly sweet – this world formed from Patrick Ness’s wild imagination and populated by Tim Miller’s huggable animals is one you will want to return to, for laughs and for the deeper themes of grief, bullying, and true friendship.' (Isabel Roxas, creator of the graphic novel series The Adventures of Team Pom)
'Wonderfully absurd.' (Bob Shea, author of Who Wet My Pants)

My daughter and I really enjoyed this but it was rather ruined by the fact that the audiobook finishes two chapters before the end of the book - leaving us to buy a physical copy of it to ensure we finished the story. Very odd.

Last two chapters missing!

It’s not really my style or writing but it is good and I think it’s good for younger readers but I think it’s just a bit young for me but I enjoyed it as an easy read after a hard book. I’m shadowing for the carnivores so this is one of them but I wouldn’t choose to read it but I think it was a good read and I enjoyed it
