Rusty loves his blue tongue lizard. He’s his best friend. A worldwide competition is held for five children to join a secret school for talking pets.
Rusty isn’t sure whether to apply, but his friend charlotte tells him he’ll never win if he doesn’t enter.
Bongo and Rusty win a place in the school. They’re off to a secret island location to join the school of talking animals. Trouble begins when evil people want to use animals to take over the world.
How does Rusty know who to trust? What can he do to save the animals?
I loved the humour.
recommended for readers 10-12 years
